## Transcript

It is also my honor to award the medal of freedom to one of the most celebrated sports heroes in world history. The Sultan of Swat. The great Bambino, the one and only Babe Ruth. He truly is when you think I mean. Let's face it. Babe Ruth is Babe Ruth, right? George Herman Babe Ruth Jr. He was a junior. I can't imagine what his father was like. [ LAUGH ] He must have been tough. Lived from 1895 to 1948. Learning the game of baseball from Catholic brothers at his orphanage. At the age of 19, he was signed by the Boston Red Sox as a pitcher. And soon became one of the best pitchers in baseball, people don't know that.

Babe Ruth was one of the best pitchers, he still has records today. Today goes to one of the Most beloved artists and most enduring culture like us that has ever lived. The king of rock and roll, the true king, and you have to say that, Elvis Aaron Presley. [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] Who was Elvis? That was my idea, I say give me a little, a little song That was I guess a little promotional ability but I will tell you he was something special. I would like to hear the rest of the song I don't know why they cut it off so shortly, they have no promotional ability that's why. Growing up from humble beginning in Mississippi Elvis lived from 1935 to 1977.

And first rose to fame with the 1954 single, That's All Right. Recorded at the fabled Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Great place. He soon skyrocketed to international star, recording over 3 decades of unforgettable hits. From Heartbreak Hotel to Suspicious Minds to Burning Love. Deeply patriotic, Elvis served in the United States military at the hype of his fame. He had a choice and to him it wasn't a choice.
