PHOTO OP: A Billie meets a Barack, receives Presidential Medal of Freedom
A HUGE congrats to tennis legend Billie Jean King who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award, from U.S. president Barack Obama today at the White House.
The prestigious honor is given out to individuals who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."
I'd say BJK has more than earned this award.
*clap, clap, clap*
