and proposal development services that ensure clients' ability to win

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the Nation's highest civil award.
Established by Executive Order 11085 in 1963, the Medal may be awarded by
the President "to any person who has made an especially meritorious
contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United
States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or
private endeavors."

President Bush honored these recipients at a White House ceremony today,
Thursday, June 19, 2008:

General Peter Pace, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.), is one of our Nation's most
accomplished and respected military officers. His selfless service and
visionary leadership have helped keep our Nation safe.

Along with General Pace, other noted individuals also received the
award...

the lives of those suffering from neurological disorders. His
groundbreaking contributions to medicine and his inspiring efforts to help
America's youth fulfill their potential have strengthened our Nation.

of human knowledge. His efforts to advance our understanding and
treatment of HIV/AIDS have brought hope and healing to millions around

public officials. She has worked tirelessly to ensure that all Americans
