CGSC Service to Nation Program

Service to the Nation was initiated here at CGSC in 1999 to supplement the installation's effort to raise the public's consciousness about their Armed Forces.  Service to the Nation engagements help to strengthen an informed public understanding of the Armed Forces officer's role as a military professional and citizen and to enhance the Armed Forces officer's public speaking effectiveness and appreciation as a valued member of the community.  Events may be presentation-type or community service events (off Post coaching positions, tree planting, clean-up etc.) where no presentation is required.  Events with presentations may include individuals or teams of 3-4 U.S. students who present a 20-30 minute personalized perspective of their service to the nation--how they were commissioned, where they have served, where they may serve next, how selfless service affects their families in a civic environment (usually schools, Lions Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs, Optimists, Chambers, etc.).
