President George W. Bush presented the President’s Volunteer Service Award to Eric Greitens upon arrival in St. Louis, Missouri, on Friday, October 3, 2008. Greitens, a lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserve and a senior fellow at the Harry S. Truman School of Public Affairs, is the founder of the Center for Citizen Leadership. To thank them for making a difference in the lives of others, President Bush honors a local volunteer when he travels throughout the United States. He has met with more than 650 volunteers, like Greitens, since March 2002.
