nightdog_barksThis is one of the people receiving a Presidential Medal of Freedom today:
That's Chief Joe Medicine Crow. He's 95 years old. His step-grandfather was White Man Runs Him, who was a scout for George Armstrong Custer. This means that Joe Medicine Crow grew up hearing stories about the Battle of the Little Bighorn, from people who were actually there. Amazing and awesome to think about.
The complete list of folks getting medals today is here. Harvey Milk is on the list, which is also pretty amazing if you think about it. :-)
