Fred McFeely Rogers, known to millions as their favorite neighbor, taught each of us the importance of being a good neighbor. A beloved childhood icon and Presidential Medal of Freedom winner, we believe that his message of respect and honesty should be honored within our own communities. We feel that the best way to honor his legacy is by declaring March 20, his birthday, a National Day of Service, and encouraging everyone to do something to improve their neighborhood. Mr. Rogers taught us that we could each do something, no matter who we are or what our circumstances in life may be.
