The Congressional Gold Medal
The Congressional Gold Medal is an award bestowed by the United States Congress. It is Congresss highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions by individuals, institutions, or groups. It can be awarded to anyone Congress deems worthy.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom
Since 1963, the Presidential Medal of Freedom has been an award bestowed by the president of the United States to recognize people who have made an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private ends.
I have changed original post....sorry
