Frank Sinatra Receives Presidential Medal Of Freedom

Frank Sinatra was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Ronald Reagan on May 23, 1985 in Washington, D.C. Former United Nations ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick applauds behind them.

You can visit the Frank Sinatra page at the Presidential Medal of Freedom website. It includes some biographical information about the Chairman of the Board himself. I really love this picture. Besides being an entertainment legend and icon, Sinatra was a wonderful humanitarian. He truly deserved this award. I'm glad he received it.

    That is a wonderful picture. He did so much, and a lot of his humanitarian work was done anonymously. He was an amazing person.

    Hey Kate. Thanks for the comments. Glad you like the photo. I do too. Sinatra did do a lot of humanitarian work that people didn't even know about.

    I love this picture. Frank Sinatra definitely deserved this award. He used his fame and fortune to make the lives of others better. He didn't have to broadcast it to the world either.

    Thanks Phoebe. I know what you mean. Modern celebs have to publicize it every single time they do a charity event. Sinatra many times gave behind the scenes. He didn't want all the attention.

    Hey pallie DMP. Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure why Dino never received such an award. It would have been great if he did.

    Now Mr. Sinatra was a true role model! We rarely have celebs like him anymore.
