President Barack Obama is asking every American to help celebrate his second inauguration by “making an effort to serve America and your community by donating your time to the public good.”
“Too many Americans are wrapped up in selfish pursuits most of the time,” the President said. “They place ‘making a buck,’ spending time with friends and family, and enjoying life ahead of serving others. What I am asking is that on the day of my inauguration everyone divert themselves from these egocentric activities and do something useful for their fellow human beings.”
Obama suggested that “participating in a food drive, picking up litter, or visiting a seniors’ home might be good ways to pay society back for the privilege of living in our great country. If we start by dedicating one day this year we can work our way toward dedicating everyday to the general welfare of humanity. This would the proudest legacy I could bestow upon the world.”

After work, we’ll be at the range shooting, a more fitting way to spend the day.
A little too late to mark the day off. Besides, it'll be too darn cold. Maybe I'll celebrate by trying to find a vendor who has Glock magazines. Or ordering a custom concealment holster.
If the Prez wants me in his National Day of service he is gonna have to draft me!
“I don’t know about anyone here,but my National Day of Service occurrs when I hit the time clock in the morning and ends when I punch out.”
Oh, I don’t spend ALL of my day on it, just somewhere between three and four hours.
After spending 12 hours per work day, I don’t need a National Day of Service.I need a long sleep that I don’t usually get.
the high five is the gateway to “Sieg Heil”, just look, palm out, arm upraised, not warm and fuzzy at all! Nothing fascist is ever passe to our Leader, he just covers it up.

I think that I should have put the sarc tag on my post. I’m agreeing with you, the high five is his veiled stiff arm salute.
Sorry, it’s been a long day.
I had a friend that through his church volunteered to patch a roof on a very tall two story ghetto house and while he and his boys were on the roof the locals stole his ladder and the fire department had to rescue them.
