WHAT DOES PUBLIC SERVICE MEAN TO YOU?

Public service is simply concern for others, beyond one’s small circle of family and friends, translated into action. It can take many forms, depending on one’s talents and interests and the varied opportunities that the world presents to us, but it has always seemed to me that some form of public service is an essential element of a full and fulfilling life. There is no doubt that it is essential for the functioning of any great society.
