Clark frequently opens his show by telling listeners that his purpose is to be of service to them. But have you ever wondered how you can be of service to others? Clark is a big believer in joining our nation's homeland security effort by signing up for state guard service. These are voluntary military units under the service of the governor in 27 of the 50 states. Like many people, Clark had never heard of state guards before a guardsman told him about them in the wake of 9/11. Now he's been active in the Georgia State Defense Force for about six years and has become a captain. Prior military experience is usually not necessary.

Different states operate their defense forces in different ways. Some train with the National Guard, while others don't. Some carry weapons and some don't. In case you're wondering, Clark doesn't carry a weapon! There's no pay for this work, but it really can enrich your life. Clark has been trained on search and rescue, medivac and community support in the event of a disaster. He had the privilege to serve his fellow citizens doing medivac during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Now he's just completed his annual training this past weekend and he's totally pumped about the experience. Volunteering for Georgia's State Defense Force is his way to stand up in an era when foreign enemies want to destroy us.
