Do you know there was a 97-year-old man who was a guest of another colleague, who has been working really hard to try to get the Medal of Freedom for this man, who survived Nazi Germany?

I’ve survived all this.” And he did it from — you know, in this beautiful, gracious way, even after all that he’s been through."
