With all due respect to Pete, the context and the officer, it’s not always easy to wrap your arms around the men in blue. #Repost @petesouza ・・・ How to present the Medal of Valor to a really #tall person. President #Obama said he was reminded of having to present NBA Hall of Famer Bill Russell the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Yesterday the President awarded the #Medal of Valor to 13 individuals including 6’7″ Donald Thompson of the Los Angeles Police Department. He was honored for pulling an unconscious man from a burning car.
