Why the spirit of volunteering is a defining part of America's identity

Before the United States was founded, the idea of volunteering was well underway in the colonies. Now, Americans consistently donate more of their time than citizens of any other country. Judy Woodruff explores how the idea took root and why it's become a part of our national identity. It's part of her series, America at a Crossroads.
