When we serve, we're united by a common purpose: doing good.
September 11 is more than a day of remembrance, it's also a National Day of Service!
Each year, people across the country honor the day by serving their communities and supporting causes they care about.
As we continue to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, we are reminded that service has always been at the heart of who we are as a nation.
