I think most people 'serve' in some way in high school. Everyone I know had mandatory service hours in high school.Not limiiting to military....therer are lots of ways to serve, and even some physically handicapped can serve. it is a gratitude thing, be grateful for how good we have it here in the USA...
Even so, service as "showing gratitude for what we've got here" doesn't make much sense to me. Don't we pay for what we've got here? Don't we vote for what we've got here? Doesn't getting a job and an education sustain what we've got here? I could understand the sentiment if Americans weren't responsible for their country already and if we were getting our government for free, but we're not. The United States is what it is because it's citizens make it so already.
