1 Sally Lau { 07.14.11 at 9:18 am }: May I please request to post the “Peace Corps Inspiration” video given at the Peace Corps Porch on July 4, 2011, at 5 p.m. with Senator Mike Honda? It would be very much appreciated, as he is an inspiring role model for the past, present, and future Peace Corps volunteers.
