WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will award the 2018 Presidential Medal of Freedom to Elvis Presley, George Herman "Babe" Ruth, Jr. and five other individuals, the White House said in a statement on Saturday.
The medal is the highest civilian honour in the United States and is given annually to people who have made outstanding contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavours.
Trump will also award the medal to Miriam Adelson, a physician who together with her husband Sheldon Adelson, a billionaire casino magnate, is a major donor to the Republican party, Jewish causes worldwide, and medical research.
Also receiving the award next week will be Republican Senator Orrin Hatch, former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice and the first African-American to serve on that court Alan Page, the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and former professional football player Roger Staubach.

I really don't know what Ruth did in service to his country. Rodger being a vet and Allen a judge I'm aware of their service. Was Ruth generous in the community?

Ok so after reading further into this. Ruth was a very important celebrity pushing war bonds in WWII. He also had a foundation. He did have very humble beings. He is one of those bygone celebrities with a reputation. Not the good kind.

Ruth was a drunken whore mongrel who evaded military service to his country by claiming to work in the defense industry during the great war AKA W.W. 1. What he and the rest of the so called workers were doing, was playing baseball to keep their skills alive until after the war.

Page did manage to stay out of Vietnam when the country needed man power. Decide that for yourself.

Trump on the other hand was a draft dodger like Bush 43 and has no business being president. All you republicans out there, would you hire a guy like Trump to run the family business? The only answer is NO! Now, he comes out with a lot of tough talk and will use YOUR children, not HIS, to fight the war, just like Bush 43 did.
