Jane Eisner, vice president for national programs and initiatives, National Constitution Center: |
"Gratitude can be the hallmark of our humanity. It lifts us out of isolation and ignorance by connecting us to others. And so here is my challenge to you. If common sense, personal experience and scientific evidence show the worth of gratitude in human relations, how do we extend that value into the public square? National service serves the individual imperative to be grateful – there’s no faster way to appreciate what you have than by seeing the greater needs of others. Widespread national service is the best way to create grateful citizens and serve social needs." |
