At the Character Education Partnership Conference in Alexandria, Virginia, Colin Powell received the first ever "American Patriot of Character Award" for exemplifying the founding principals of democracy and exhibiting the highest ethical standards in service of the common good. His talk focused on a common good that reached from our homes, to our schools, to our communities, and beyond the borders of our country. He talked about his parents, who were immigrants from Jamaica, instilling in him a strong sense of responsibility to the greater good and he applauded the efforts of all those who are doing their part to be positive role models, inspiring young people to enter the world with the skills to live successfully and to lift humanity.
