President Bush presents the President's Volunteer Service Award to Navy spouse Ellen Patton from Naval Base Point Loma, California, before the White House celebration of Military Spouse Day on Tuesday, May 6, 2008. During her 26 years as a military spouse, Patton has moved 20 times to 13 duty stations from Hawaii to Virginia. She is a volunteer quilt maker for the Quilts of Valor Foundation, which provides quilts to wounded and injured service members and veterans from the Global War on Terror throughout the country and abroad. In addition, Ellen volunteers with West Point’s Plebe Network as an online mentor for parents of cadets, and she helps prepare the winter shelter for homeless veterans with the Veteran’s Village of San Diego.
