Ever since our Founders pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to each other and the cause of independence, each generation of Americans has stepped forward to serve in the defense of our freedom and ideals, which include the right to live and prosper with dignity and fair access to all this great country has to offer.
We Believe in the ideals that define America: liberty, equality, and justice; We Believe the idea of America is ennobled, and the future of America is strengthened, when America and all it's citizens come together to serve their country and their community;
We Believe that there is no challenge that cannot be met with the energy, creativity, and the determination of the American people and all of us who are called to community servie;
We Believe all individuals can make a difference and anyone can be great because anyone can serve and strive to make tommorrow a brighter day. We Call on each other and leaders from all sectors of American life, private, public, and non-profit, to work together to create ample opportunities for citizens to serve their communities, their country, and the world.
We are ready to meet the challenges of our time and to do our part in America’s timeless quest for a more perfect union, and
We are ready to begin now by placing my support and my name behind this Declaration.
We pledge to challenge cynicism, and to serve over our lifetimes to secure a brighter future for all.
To Live in America today is both a blessing and a responsibility, and service to community and country is at the heart of true patriotism.
To Honor the sacrifices of those who have gone before us, and to bequeath a stronger and more just nation to future generations, we too stand ready to unite and serve not only our family and friends but also the poor, the elderly, the emotionally and intellectually challenged, the uninsured and undersinsured, the chronically ill and anywher that loneliness, despair and hope seems lost.
