I am delighted to send my very best wishes as you celebrate the more than 200,000 Americans who have answered the call to service first issued by President Kennedy and Sargent Shriver in 1961. For 50 years, Peace Corps volunteers have been our ambassadors to the world. They’re often the first American in their host community and the first American that many have ever met. They share their generosity, creativity and skills in ways that change lives and deepen understanding across cultures. I have seen first-hand the enthusiasm and commitment of our volunteers around the world. I will never forget meeting volunteer Muriel Johnston in Morocco, who at age 86 reminds all of us to dream big and follow our hearts. Many of my colleagues as the State Department and at USAID began their careers in the Peace Corps, and it gave them the foundation to bridge cultural divides and inspired them to think about what we can accomplish together so around the world countless individuals have the opportunity to pursue their dreams and live up to their potential because a Peace Corps volunteer changed their lives. The world has moved on since 1961, but the agency’s mission to promote world peace and friendship is timeless. On behalf of the State Department and USAID, I would like to thank all Peace Corps volunteers past, present, and future for your commitment to peace and friendship. Thank you all very much. 关于Peace Corps 成立50 周年 美国国务院国际信息局（IIP）《美国参考》 Mark Trainer 华盛顿——美国和平队（Peace Corps）诞生旪旨在向美国大学生发出一个简单挑戓，激励他们贡献自己生命中的两年旪光去帮劣发展中国家的人民；而今和平队已成为一支人道援劣的生力军，通过20 多万美国志愿者为139 个国家的人民带去了帮劣和希望。 3 月1 日，和平队迎来了它为世界朋务50 周年纪念。当年，肯尼迪总统（John F.
