In life, it's not what knocks us down that matters. It's the people who help us up. Each of us can be one of those people. On this 10th anniversary celebration, I salute everyone who works to make the United States of America a better place to live and realize our dreams. The people who participate in Make A Difference Day are proof that Americans are compassionate people.
Volunteers are among America's true heroes.
Make A Difference Day is held in partnership with the Points of Light Foundation. The 11th Make A Difference Day is Saturday, Oct. 27, 2001.
