US Presidential Medal of Freedom
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award of the United States, established by President John F. Kennedy in 1963 to recognize individuals who have made a significant contribution to the country's security, national interests, world peace, or cultural endeavors. The medal can be awarded with distinction, which indicates a higher level of recognition, and has been awarded to at least 55 individuals since its inception. The medal is awarded annually by the President, but the selection process is not publicly disclosed, and recommendations come from various sources, including the public and presidential advisory bodies. It can be awarded posthumously and has been given to over 700 individuals, including notable figures such as Colin Powell, Steve Jobs, and Pope John XXIII.learn more on wikipedia
