Sommario/riassunto |
|
Heart of the Nation is a book about the golden thread of American democracy-volunteering-and how Presidents since the founding of our nation have worked to enlist more Americans to serve their neighbors and nation. In the process, the book shows how each individual can find his or her own service calling and, in the process, find his or her own happiness. |
