"My call tonight is for every American to commit at least two years -- 4,000 hours over the rest of your lifetime -- to the service of your neighbors and your nation."


I answered the president's call to service. I became one of the few... the proud... the AmeriCorps VISTAs in August of 2002. I serve in Burlington, Vermont. (Otherwise known as VISTAtown, USA because it has the highest number of VISTAs per square mile than any other place in the country.)
