Conclusion
We have experienced many changes as a nation since September 11, 2001. We are now more aware of our
vulnerabilities, more appreciative of the freedoms we are protecting, and more understanding that we have a personal
responsibility for the safety of our families, our neighbors, and our communities. Citizen Corps was created to engage all
Americans in making our communities safer, stronger, and better prepared for any situation. This is an exciting time in our nation’s history. We have the opportunity to reinvigorate our national identity and to
build an American culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility. We must not miss this opportunity to harness the
innumerable acts of kindness taking place in our communities everyday and to make them a part of this profound cultural
change.
