Here, from the White House blog.  Susan is in great company! An excerpt:

Today, President Obama named nineteen recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. “I look forward to presenting these nineteen bold, inspiring Americans with our Nation’s highest civilian honor,” said the President.

“From activists who fought for change to artists who explored the furthest reaches of our imagination; from scientists who kept America on the cutting edge to public servants who help write new chapters in our American story, these citizens have made extraordinary contributions to our country and the world.”
