Each year, shortly before commencement, the Wilson Center bestows the Patrick Henry Public Service Awards at an awards banquet which follows the Wilson Center Advisory Board spring meeting. It is also the final event of the year for students in the Public Service program of the Wilson Center, and the seniors who have successfully completed the requirements of the program receive certificates. 

The Patrick Henry awards are given to H-SC alumni whose service to their country, their states, and/or their communities is deserving of high praise and recognition. The 2006 Patrick Henry Public Service award recipients are:

• William Howe Grover, Sr. '70, Lighthouse Point, Florida, in recognition of distinguished service to the people of the United States.
• Dr. Thomas Sublett Woodall '67, Winchester, Virginia, in recognition of distinguished service to the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
• Raymond B. Wallace, Jr. '60, Richmond, Virginia, in recognition of distinguished service to the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

These award recipients were guests of honor at the April 21st banquet which was also attended by Wilson Center staff, members of the oversight committee and Advisory Board, Public Service Certificate Program students, Military Leadership/National Security Studies Certificate Program students, members of the alumni council and other invited guests.
