A very eclectic group of ingenious Americans. Rarely see this much talent in one room.

Watching now. Mr. Obama is really having a good time, huh? Born and raised in So. Cal. and I ADORE Vin Scully.

The pres got one thing wrong. For years Vin worked with Jerry Dogget in the booth and later with a couple of others. Vin did the major work but for years he did not work alone!

All Hail Dear Vin Scully!!

I read that Ellen DeGeneres wasn't let in to the White House because she didn't have ID with her.

I can't believe there are people who can't recognize her or know her name was on the list

Hi @ShowMe Happy Thanksgiving!

ShowMe! Sorry for the misspeak on my part and the misunderstandig on yours. I LOVED the presentation and loved that he was called "An American Treasure". I could not agree more. I really didn't think my post came across as negative, was merely pointing out a wee mistake!

I just watched some of the clips on Facebook. I got choked up when Ellen was presented with hers. I think it's because SHE got choked up.

@ShowMeThis was the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award, not the Medal of Honor.

Appology accepted. Yes, he is "An American Treasure", as the whole group of 21 are. It was a wonderful program.

Exactly what do you have to do to get one of these awards? Be a celebrity?

@ShowMe Please don't take my correction the wrong way. I'm just surprised somebody else didn't catch it.

Have a peaceful holiday and be well-I understand you are still undergoing treatments.

No problem Cakers.....didn't take it the wrong way.

Yes, I am still undergoing treatments. From what my oncologist has said, I will be on these treatments every 2 weeks for the rest of my life...... Here's hoping they can come out with these treatments in pill form. I really can't complain, these treatments are keeping me alive. I do have my bad days, but goes with the territory.

Hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving.

They come from all walks of life. Basket ball, sports, movie stars (some have done wonderful things), and some like Bill and Malinda Gates that have started a foundation that is doing wonderful work. This is just a few examples......thoroughly enjoyed the whole program.
