Four Presidents and 1000 Points of Light

I attended an event in the Kennedy Center’s elegant Opera House last night and sat 10 rows behind four former presidents of the United States. I saw former secretaries of state, senators, congressmen. Even heard Carrie Underwood sing, along with Garth Brooks and a bunch of other A-list performers. But the brightest light wasn’t among those names.

A Worthy Tribute

Tonight, former President George H.W. Bush will be honored at the Kennedy Center for his leadership and vision in the realm of service and volunteerism. He famously referred to the "thousand points of light" in his 1989 Inaugural address, and this served as the inspiration for a campaign that formally encourages Americans to consider service as an answer to community challenges.
