There is a message from The President of the United States requesting that
every American volunteer this summer.

It is under the United We Serve campaign. I think this is also the name of a "Support the troops" campaign, but I am sure it is not meant to overshadow.
Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Liberal, or Conservative, I think that most of us in FIRST can attest to the positive powers of volunteerism and its effects on a community. This summer, take some time and get your friends involved in something positive. Every little bit is a step in the right direction.
It is much harder for someone to misuse the labor you do then it is for them to misuse of the dollar you pledge...
