So many incredible people honored that day. And the awards were presented by one of our most incredible presidents.

What American is more deserving or humble than Jimmy Stewart? Quite simply, the quintessential American.

Wasn't RAY CHARLES honored at this or was that The Kennedy Center Honors?

[@golfwesty]

thank you Gen Stewart. You could have served in WW2 as a recruiter or PR person. You wanted to be at the point of the spear. Thank you sir!
