I have spent my life listening to speeches by civic leaders called in youth to their life's work by the words of Kennedy and King. President Obama's call, no less poignant, will be no less potent. Today, I am as thankful for a national leader capable of inspiring a nation as I am envious of those who experienced this great call to service with the pure hearts and open minds of the very young. What a gift.
