Co-organizer of the Service Nation Summit and CEO of Civic Enterprises John Bridgeland published an opinion piece in today’s Washington Times about the call to serve. After 9/11, Americans were encouraged and inspired to serve, but “after the war became divisive, the call to service grew quiet” he writes. Service Nation will help revive the call for citizen service.
