Michelle Obama Announces National Day of Service, Sept. 11

The White House (email) ^ | 9-10-10 | Michelle Obama

[DBrow]

Good morning,

Nine years ago, nearly three thousand Americans lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Like many Americans, I was shocked and horrified by the attacks on our country. But I was also inspired by the heroism and selflessness of so many of my fellow Americans in the wake of this tragedy.

From the brave men and women of Flight 93 who sacrificed their own lives to save the lives of others, to the first responders who rushed without hesitation to help those in need, to the young men and women who chose to join our Armed Forces following the attacks - these tragic events united Americans in a remarkable spirit of solidarity and compassion.

It’s that spirit of selflessness and service that inspired the first September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance last year. On this day all Americans can honor the brave men and women who lost and risked their lives by serving others in their community.

Tomorrow, I will be volunteering with Mission Serve, an initiative bringing together civilian and military communities through service and volunteerism. Working alongside active duty members of the military, wounded warriors, veterans, military spouses and students, I’ll help renovate a community center at a retirement community for veterans in McLean, Virginia.

You can join me in participating in the National Day of Service by finding a service opportunity in your area on Serve.gov:

Whether you help clean up a local park, participate in a food drive, or help out in a local soup kitchen or school, volunteering strengthens our communities and our country. The National Day of Service presents an opportunity to take time to make a difference in your area and make a commitment to serve your community throughout the year.

On the anniversary of this tragic day in our history, I hope you will join me in honoring all those who put the needs of others before their own by serving in your community.

To all Americans mourning the loss of their loved ones on September 11th, the President and I extend our sincerest condolences. Your courage and sacrifice is an inspiration to all Americans.

Sincerely,

Michelle Obama First Lady of the United States

FUMO

It should be a day of remembrance. Anything to obfuscate reality with these people.

[concerned about politics]

Who in the Hell is this freak to order anything.

I remember seeing clips of the Muslims dancing in the streets and celebrating the attack. I can't help but wonder if Barrack and Michelle were doing the same thing. Because of Oboma, this country has never been so Sharia compliant. Every new law written since his election is Sharia compliant.

[DBrow]

Dhimmitude

Yes. Commies, too, have volunteerism, it’s not just Muslims.

Back when this seemed like a good idea, Obama was full of ideas for volunteerism. Paid volunteerism, college in return for government service, various schemes requiring 100 hours of service from high school students annually as a graduation requirement. Plus the National Day of Service, to help bury 9/11 and prevent it from being a patriotic rallying cry.

Now with all that has happened, the Mosque, the flaming korans, the economy, health care, tax...the national mood has changed.

The timing of this offensive email is the most breathtaking. They have no clue how we feel or what’s important to us. This announcement is a rallying cry of the sort the WH does not want, with midterms coming up and the ramping up of the Muslim World War.

[TNCMAXQ]

She was shocked by those attacks in 2001? That is back before she was proud of her country.

[DBrow]

I think the goal, 18 months ago, was to have a national day to paper over the attacks and so that future generations, 50 years from now, would not think of flame and death on Sept 11.

Let’s disappoint them this year, and every year,

“I remember seeing clips of the Muslims dancing in the streets and celebrating the attack. I can't help but wonder if Barrack and Michelle were doing the same thing. Because of Oboma, this country has never been so Sharia compliant. Every new law written since his election is Sharia compliant.”

Excellent point they were dancing in celebration at Wrights church where they jumped the broom.

[aeonspromise]

and today me and obamma jama mobama are going to get more taxes passed to give to da needy..and maybe I’ll make uhmabanna jama some shaky puddin..

FUMO!!!!

NEVER FORGET who did this.

‘Every “moderate” Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a “moderate” Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.’

Dr. Ali Sina

.“Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.” Barack Hussein Obama

“it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit” Barack Hussein Obama

“We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country.” Barack Hussein Obama

“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country” Barack Hussein Obama

“I have lived in a Muslim-majority country... I know, because I am one of them.” Barack Hussein Obama

“As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.” Barack Hussein Obama

“Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.” Barack Hussein Obama

“And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States.” Barack Hussein Obama

“And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.” Barack Hussein Obama

“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state of our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That is why the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it.” Barack Hussein Obama

“We are not nor have we even been at war with Islam” Barack Hussein Obama .

Thanks for the post. We must not forget, even if Obama wants us to.

Those images still hit me like a punch.

Yikers!

[Dogbert41]

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but didn’t this “Marie Antoinette” bitch sit in a church and say AMEN when the pastor said “GOD DAMN AMERICA” and “OUR CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST” referring to 9-11?

[Borax Queen]

My day of service is all of the taxes they are robbing from me, to use to support illegal aliens, etc.

[DBrow]

I do believe you are correct.

RE: “I thought it was burn a koran day.”

*****************

I don’t have a Koran, and would never pay to get one, but as a good substitute, if someone has a copy of the Zerobama/Ayers book “Dreams of My Father,” why not just burn THAT?

Seems as good a ‘public service’ as anything else!
