Universal National Service

 
  Our young people need to become more involved in the community and country and be motivated with the proper work ethic and dedication to service.

A system is proposed of universal national service funded by the federal government but decentralized to local control. Initially, the program would operate on a voluntary or lottery basis.

Participants would work in the military, education, health care, conservation and other areas of community need. Private foundations and local communities and public service organizations would supervise and oversee the program.
