Christmas Message: President Urges Volunteering

The blessings we enjoy come with a responsibility attached. That was the message US President George Bush gave to Americans in his Saturday radio address on Christmas Day.

The President urged Americans to volunteer to help those in need.

"Christmastime reminds each of us that we have a duty to our fellow citizens, that we are called to love our neighbor just as we would like to be loved ourselves. By volunteering our time and talents where they are needed most, we help heal the sick, comfort those who suffer, and bring hope to those who despair, one heart and one soul at a time."
