For more than 40 years, the Presidential Citizens Medal has honored Americans who have "performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens."
This year, President Obama asked the public to submit nominees. Over 6,000 nominations were submitted and today the President will honor 13 recipients of the 2011 Citizens Medal in a ceremony at the White House. Tune in to WhiteHouse.gov/Live at 2:00 p.m. EDT to watch the ceremony.
Check out this behind-the-scenes video of White House staff calling this year’s recipients of the Citizens Medal:
