9/10/2010 Presidential Proclamation on Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Rembemberance, 2010
  Nine years ago, the United States of America suffered an unprecedented national tragedy. On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 individuals from across our Nation and from more than 90 others, lost their lives in acts of terrorism aimed at the heart of our country. The Americans we lost came from every color, faith, and station. They were cherished family members, friends, and fellow citizens, and we will never forget them. Yet, against the horrific backdrop of these events, the American people revealed the innate resilience and compassion that marks our Nation. When the call came for volunteers to assist our heroic first responders, countless men and women answered with a massive rescue and recovery effort, offering hope and inspiration amidst tremendous heartbreak. Today we remember those we lost on that dark September day, and we honor the courage and selflessness of our first responders, service-members, and fellow citizens who served our Nation and its people in our hour of greatest need.

In that budget, the President proposed $1.416 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service to strengthen our nation’s volunteer sector, foster innovation, and mobilize millions of Americans to solve critical problems through national service.
