Guess who is coming to the Dinner?

Guess who is coming to the Dinner? (@ the White House)

Peace award

Absolutely gorgeous . . . their faces says it all, no words . . .

Sydney Poitier has done a lot of great things. But this is still my favorite. I tear up every time:

Stand Up 2 Cancer

Ooops, I meant the Medal of Freedom.
I saw much of this live. it was amazing. Former Bills star and Politician, the late Jack Kemp, a hometown hero here in Buffalo, was among those honored. They described him as putting country over party. Boy, you can't say that for too many Republicans anymore. The ceremony was very touching.

You sure can't...Kemp was Reagan before Reagan was Reagan...ahh, all the good ones have left us with this.

Thank you for posting this Misty, and it must have been a nice birthday present for you!  I caught the hug on the evening news and thought it was so nice and so appropriate.

For those who are interested, Turner Classic Movies is having 24 hours of Poitier movies starting at 6:00 a.m. EDT on Friday.  I sure wish I had cable!

I'd be worried about ruining this great, inspiring thread if I didn't think Misty would enjoy this Colbert clip covering this and other awards news.
