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. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

@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.
