Sleep. Day of Service volunteering at 6 AM tomorrow. What have YOU done for your country?
@emmybunny One of the things I like about Obama is that he emphasizes you don’t have to be in the army to serve your country.
Morning and happy MLK day, USians. off to volunteer.
@emmybunny honestly, I don’t really either. But i do get activism and volunteering, so that’s where I’m at.

I am officially jealous. It was only when I was watching it on television that I realized how much I wanted be there. I don’t think I have ever watched anything that made me want to jump into the television screen more. I found myself overcome and realized that by seeing it on tv I was experiencing history second hand.
