The Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civil award, is given to recognize achievement in public service, science and education, entertainment, the arts, athletics, business, or other fields. President Bush made brief remarks. He then presented the medals while a military aide read the citations. Medals were awarded to golfer Arnold Palmer, Edward Brooke, Doris Day, Vartan Gregorian, Gilbert Grosvenor, Gordon B.
