Each of our service projects will bring together the civilian and military communities to focus on civilian-military integration through shared service. Ivy City is a small neighborhood in Northeast Washington. It is one of the oldest and smallest communities in Washington, DC. The city has suffered from a tumultuous past and is still one of the poorest parts of the district. Historically, Ivy City’s main economic focus was on the railroad industry. At the industry’s downturn, Ivy City suffered immensely, andresidents were pushed into poverty. Recently, there has been a push to revitalize the neighborhood. Read Post | Comments
Veterans Day 11/11/11
Learn about our projects this Veterans Day 11-11-11.
ServiceNation, as part of our Mission Serve initiative, seeks to establish Veterans Day as a national day of service and celebration. We challenge all citizens to show their appreciation for those in military service by engaging in service here at home. By serving in honor of veterans and alongside military families, civilian communities can show their gratitude and respect. And, by creating a large-scale series of events centered on Veterans Day, we are able to bring a focus upon civilian-military integration, as well as the importance of service for our nation. Mission Serve will be celebrating and honoring Veterans Day. The goal is to host 11 large scale service projects in 11 cities across the nation on 11/11/11. Following the tenth anniversary of 9/11, it is important that, as a nation, we continue to recognize the work of military service members and veterans.
