An American-The following creed by Weaver Pangburn, published in Leslie's Weekly for June 5th, 1920, describes the type of citizenship which Community Service seeks to promote. I AM AN AMERICAN I am an American. God willing, I will carve out the future with these two hands and this brain. I will stand on my own feet and I will win success for myself and my own. If I should fail, or fall behind my fellows in the race of life, the fault and discredit will be mine, no other's. If I lose, I seek no alibi in the character of my environment, of the economic system, or of the kind of government. I harbor no class resentment; I carry no red flag of bitterness or sedition. I fight forward, whining not, independent, clear-eyed. I am an American.
