KENNEDY UPON RECEIVING THE MEDAL OF FREEDOM

July 30, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


WASHINGTON, DC— Senator Edward M. Kennedy today released the following statement in response to being named by President Obama as a 2009 recipient of the Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor:

“I am profoundly grateful to President Obama for this extraordinary honor. My life has been committed to the ideal of public service which President Kennedy wanted the Medal of Freedom to represent.

4. Good on all three of them.
Obama for awarding it, JFK for creating it, and Teddy for earning it.

He'll be missed. There are not many liberals left in the Democratic Party.

6. Thank God
the awarding of the medal did not come too late. If ever a statesman deserved this honor, it was Ted Kennedy.
