WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush is urging Americans to dedicate
4,000 hours during their lives to volunteer service to their
communities and nation.
At a White House ceremony, Bush hailed the burst of volunteerism
that followed the Nine-Eleven terrorist attacks seven years ago
this week. He said that, while that memory is fading, the need for
volunteers remains great.
Bush praised the volunteer efforts of groups like the Red Cross
following Hurricane Gustav and Tropical Storm Hanna, and urged
Americans to donate more as Hurricane Ike threatens the Gulf Coast.
