Joe Biden Surprised With Medal Of Freedom By President Obama

The Medal of Freedom is our country's highest honor given to civilians.

Truly moving when you know that most presidents and vice-presidents don't end their runs this close.



I really encourage to you watch the entire video. We don't get to enjoy the upside of politics very often, it seems. And I find this truly uplifting to celebrate a long, outstanding life in service to our country.
