Bush To Honor OKC's Karen Stark

President Bush will present the President's Volunteer Service award to Karen Stark of Oklahoma City on Friday to honor her work on behalf of those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, known as The Hugs Project.

Bush also will attend a private fundraiser for Republican presidential candidate John McCain and the Republican National Committee.

Bush will land at Tinker Air Force Base.

Stark's organization began providing handmade neck cooling ties, nicknamed "hugs," to military troops in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2004.
