among others.

"Washington (CNN) — The Great Bambino, the King of Rock and Roll, and the former leader of "America's Team" are among those set to receive the highest honor that a president can bestow on a civilian.
The White House announced Saturday that President Donald Trump will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to seven people next week. The list, which names three posthumous recipients, includes sports and entertainment legends such as Babe Ruth and Elvis Presley as well as political and charitable luminaries such as philanthropist Miriam Adelson, Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch and the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

The Medal of Freedom is awarded to those who have made "especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the country, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors," the White House said, citing the executive order establishing the award."

Since Elvis can’t accept in person, maybe they could just display his DEA badge that he got to avoid drug arrests.

Not trying to be a dick, but what has Miriam Adelson do to merit the Presidential Medal of Freedom? Because who she is married to?

Speaks for itself. It's gotten so out of hand, we shrug it off.
