On Principles & Values: Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom after cancer diagnosis

Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is a special man who just received a Stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis. Rush Limbaugh: Thank you for your decades of tireless devotion to our country. Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our Nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
