Dear Friend,
Last
week, I announced United We Serve – a nationwide call to service
challenging you and all Americans to volunteer this summer and be part
of building a new foundation for America.
And when I say “all,” I mean
everyone – young and old, from every background, all across the
country. We need individuals, community organizations, corporations,
foundations, and our government to be part of this effort.
Today, for the official kick off of
United We Serve, members of my administration have fanned out across
America to participate in service events and encourage all Americans to
join them.
The First Lady is rolling up her
sleeves and getting to work too. But before she headed out today, she
asked me to share this message with you.
Our
nation faces some of the greatest challenges it has in generations and
we know it’s going to take a lot of hard work to get us back on track.
While Michelle and I are calling on
every American to participate in United We Serve, the call to service
doesn’t end this fall. We need to stay involved in our towns and
communities for a long time to come. After all, America’s new
foundation will be built one neighborhood at a time – and that starts
with you.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama
