HEADNOTEIt's up to civil servants to tell young people about the great opportunity to change lives and the nation.
The
Elliot Richardson, former U.S. attorney general, knew that ours is a nation built on pride in sacrifice and commitment to shared values-on a willingness of its citizens to give of their time and energy for the good of the whole. he knew that there is no greater contribution than a life of dedication to public service. We are the nation that we are today because those bridge builders of the past gave of themselves in a way that really mattered.
To be sure, the work of bridge building can be as taxing as it is rewarding. These efforts can call for sacrifice-sometimes emotional, sometimes financial, sometimes personal. Those who choose the life of public service open themselves to public review.
