As America celebrates 250 years of independence, we invite communities across the country to help us leave a lasting mark of gratitude through reading and service.

A bookmark may be small, but it carries a powerful message: someone took the time to say, "Thank you."

Together, we can honor those who serve—one bookmark and one act of kindness at a time.
