        My dad met my mom through his Peace Corps service in the Philippines. I know I a bit biased but the Peace Corps is one of the best things our country has done.

        The idealism Kennedy inspired is poorly remembered by historians but well represented here. The fact that it looks corny through the cynical lens of modern politics is a sad comment indeed.

        Kenya '85 - '87. I'd like to think that that amazing experience made me a better and more aware citizen of the US. Thank you for this Michael.

        I am very proud of my son Jeff and his wife Jill, who both served in the Peace Corps in Madagascar. They have always worked to make this world a better place.

        A great initiative by JFK to push American values around the globe. One of many he initiated. Still around today and allows young people to participate in public service. Back then it was noble - unlike today. Thanks for sharing.
