President Biden to Give Top Honor to 19 Americans.
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden will soon give a special award to 19 Americans. The award is called the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It is the highest honor a regular citizen can get.
The winners come from many different fields. Some are famous, and others worked hard to improve the country.
Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue magazine, is one of the winners. She has raised a lot of money for charity. Bono, the singer from the band U2, will also get a medal. He has worked to help poor people and those with HIV/AIDS.
President Biden chose these people for a reason. He thinks they have done great things for the United States and the world. They are "good people," the White House said.
George Soros will also get a medal. He is a very rich man who gives a lot of money to help others. Some politicians, like Hillary Clinton, are on the list, as are movie stars like Denzel Washington and Michael J. Fox.
Sports stars are also being honored. Lionel Messi plays soccer, and Magic Johnson is a famous basketball player. They will both receive medals.
A few people will receive the award even though they have died. These include Robert F. Kennedy and Fannie Lou Hamer. They fought for what they believed was right.
President Biden will give out the medals at the White House on Saturday. The medal has been around since President John F. Kennedy was in office. Presidents can choose who gets the honor.
The medal winners have done many different things, but they all have one thing in common: They have made America a better place.
