As you complete your service as AmeriCorps members, please know you have my
deepest gratitude.
Essential to the promise of America is the recognition that our journey remains
unfinished, and that each generation has the chance to more fully realize the ideals
enshrined in our founding documents. Through your devotion to service—and to the
work of shaping a future of greater opportunity for all—you have placed yourself at the
forefront of that important cause.
From my personal experience organizing communities in Chicago, I know that the kind
of work you have done can have an extraordinary impact—on communities you serve
and on your own life. I hope you will always remember the challenges you have
overcome and the lessons you have learned throughout this experience. As long as you
stay true to the spirit of service that has inspired you to reach this point, I am confident
you can continue building on the progress you have helped bring about.
Thank you for your commitment to improving the lives of the American people, now
and for generations to come. Please know you carry with you the enduring appreciation
of a proud and grateful President.
