What is the Presidential Medal of Freedom? It’s the:
…Nation’s highest civilian honor, presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors. (source)Recipients of the medal include:
Joe Medicine Crow – the last war chief of the Crow Nation, a World War II hero, writer, historian and the last living person with a direct oral history from a participant of the Battle of Little Bighorn (AKA the Battle of Greasy Grass) in 1876.
Stephen Hawking – theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and frequent guest star on The Simpsons.
Maya Angelou – author, poet, performer, and civil rights activist.
Margaret Hamilton – director of the Software Engineering Division at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory. She led the development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Guidance Computer for the Apollo program.
Medgar Evers – civil rights activist, soldier, and the NAACP’s first field secretary in Mississippi. He was assassinated in 1963, at the age of 37, by white supremacists.
Ellen Ochoa – engineer, former astronaut, and former director of the Johnson Space Center. In 1993, she became the first Latina in space when she served on a nine-day mission on the Space Shuttle Discovery.

Funnily enough, he twice tried to give Dolly Parton the Medal of Freedom. The first time she declined was because her husband was sick. She couldn't leave his side. The second time was due to COVID (not wanting to travel and be around a bunch of plague rats?). What’s she gonna say if he tries again? Thank you but I’m washing my hair that day?
Bill Belichick, the New England Patriots coach also turned Fart Man down but not until after ultra sore loser Trump unleashed his flying diarrheal monkeys on the Capital on January 6, 2021. I guess the coach was all fine and groovy with Donnie’s crimes before they got so obviously treason-y. Yup, old Bill would be in for some nasty publicity if he was seen getting too cozy with Traitor Trump. Bad for business. Gotta sell those sportsball tickets.
