very low turnout in Hamilton too......

Steph,

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is America’s highest civilian award, recognizing "exceptional meritorious service". President Truman established the medal in 1945 to recognize notable service in the war. In 1963, President Kennedy reintroduced it as an honor for distinguished civilian service in peacetime.

Recent recipients are Bob Hope, Edward Teller, Gregory Peck, and David Brinkley, although not in that order.

What about the Silver Cross? For today, Remembrance Day, the military asked a mother who lost a child in battle to present a wreath at the national ceremony. Do you guys do that?

When that woman goes up to present her wreath, there are no dry eyes in the country.

Steph,
Usually the President presents a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Washington, D.C. on Veterans Day.

Steph,

Nor should there be.
