A strong America relies on a foundation of domestic stability and prosperity that is guarded and ensured by a stong national defense. When either of these building blocks are compromised, the strength of our nation is too in jeopardy.
Stable Neighborhoods, Stable Children:
Many Americans are working hard within critical areas such as juvenile justice, youth development and the prevention of gangs and gang proliferation. We need to advance and expand on many successful efforts to address these issues, build more stable, safer and stronger local communities in which our young people can grow and prosper. If we cannot maintain meaningful domestic tranquility and prosperity, we cannot expect to be a true beacon for global stability. For more information visit www.cwla.org or www.clasp.org.
Most Americans may not typically make a direct connection between a healthy, stable childhood, our future prosperity and the strength and security of our country. However, many Americans, including a large group of current and former military leaders, are beginning to awaken the nation to the connection between healthy child development and America’s security.
Courageous Americans have always answered the call to military service. Hundreds of thousands of young men and women across America have put their lives on the line and served with honor on defense and humanitarian missions around the world. Unfortunately today many young Americans who want to join the military cannot.
