Did you dig this up? If so, great job!
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day! I've been saying this for 40 years.
Serve first, then benefit from your service.
He wants Americans of ALL ages to serve!!!
From the link of Kerry's website's archive:
Creating a New Army of Patriots
On September 11th, 2001, America experienced the most terrible and deadly attack in its history. Yet, President Bush's response was to call on Americans to wait in long lines at airports, go shopping, or wrap their windows in plastic. As President, John Kerry will have the courage to lead and call on all Americans to make our nation stronger. Whether it is protecting America from the threats of terrorism or addressing the problems we have at home, America's new challenges will not be met by the same old answers of big government or big tax cuts for the wealthy. John Kerry will call on all Americans - tapping into the idealism and ingenuity of Americans and putting it to work on building a safer, stronger, and more secure nation. Americans already make an enormous difference in their communities, volunteering, in Boys and Girls Clubs or homeless shelters. Many Americans do full time service.
John Kerry believes that in these times, we need to bolster these efforts with a nationwide commitment to national service. Whether it is a Summer of Service for our teenagers, helping young people serve their country in return for college, or the Older Americans in Service program, John Kerry's plan will call on every American of every age and every background to serve. John Kerry will set a goal of one million Americans a year in national service within the next decade.
John Kerry Outlines Plan to Require Service for High School Students
Part of 100 days Plan to Enlist One Million Americans in National Service A Year
On September 11th, 2001, America experienced the most terrible and deadly attack in its history. John Kerry believes we need to think big and do better and get more young Americans serving the nation.
As part of his 100 day plan to change America, John Kerry will propose a comprehensive service plan that includes requiring mandatory service for high school students and four years of college tuition in exchange for two years of national service.
I think this is a golden find.
Do you suppose it would even qualify as Breaking News?
Please go and read the link -- it's from Kerry's own site, archived, calling for mandatory service for young and even older Americans.
Considering the Dem lies and propaganda about Bush planning to reinstitute the draft, I think the FACT that Kerry is the one, who wants compulsory service needs to be publicized.
Hopefully Drudge, Hannity, Rush and others will pick it up, some of us should send it to them.
Kerry is going to institute the DRAFT!!!
Same old make work BS we always get from the Dims.
On collective farms too?
And John Kerry and his demoRat pals accuse REPUBLICANS of wanting to bring back the draft?!
BTTT
Sure, John. Just like that.
Socialism = determinism.
These guys wanna control your life and mine.

You should write Rather and Beverly Cocco on this bit of information. ;)
Mandatory service for high school kids just to graduate ,Summer of service ,half a million folks told to show up for govt. mandated "community service " or else .
Please tell me I aint the only one who hears the sound of hobnailed jackboots on cobblestones & the ringing cries of Seig Heil, Seig Heil, Seig Heil.
You just know that somewhere along the line that someone will introduce a oath of loyalty & service to John Kerry like bill Clinton tried to do with the oath of enlistment in the armed forces .
Sounds like Mr. Kerry wants to nationalize undergraduate education. If I'm wrong, then what's to prevent a university from jacking tuition to even higher levels. After all, there's a certain "ability-to-pay" component to all this.
