USA Freedom Corps

The United States Federal Government is working to enhance the opportunities for each of us to serve our American neighbors and our country. With a focus on homeland security, community services, assisting people around the world, and presenting opportunities for each of us to volunteer, our country’s leaders have taken on the challenge of greatly enhancing the activities and resources available to foster America’s new spirit of patriotism.

Please join your fellow Americans and people around the world, and volunteer!

The Personal Patriotism web page (and ensuing web sites) represents the beginning of our contribution to the challenge that President Bush laid before us in his State of the Union Address, to dedicate at least two years of our lives, 4000 hours over our lifetime, to the service our fellow man and the nation.
