The President and First Lady volunteering last year alongside members of the military and AmeriCorps members to build a playground for a Washington, D.C. school that lacked an outdoor area for students to exercise.
September 11, 2015 marks the annual National Day of Service and Remembrance, a day to honor the lives of those who were lost and commemorate the spirit of compassion and generosity that followed. We hope you can join us as we honor the victims and their families through service.
