They have made groundbreaking discoveries, pioneered new industries, led our Nation's businesses, and advanced our unending journey toward a more perfect Union. They have raised strong families and strengthened communities. And with unwavering courage and patriotism, many rose in defense of the land we love.

Thank you, Lisa, and good afternoon, everyone.  The first part of this year has been a busy and exciting time at the Corporation for National and Community Service.  And I am confident that we are well on our way to ensuring that 2014 is the Year of Citizen Service.

Of course, we saw incredible citizen service in action on January 20, when our agency hosted the Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service.
