WASHINGTON, DC–(ENEWSPF)–April 16, 2012. For over 40 years, the Presidential Citizens Medal has recognized Americans who have “performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens.” Starting today, the President invites the American public to nominate everyday heroes for the 2012 Citizens Medal, one of our nation’s highest civilian honors. Past recipients have included some of America’s most respected public figures including Colin Powell, Bob Dole and Muhammad Ali, but also everyday heroes like 2011 recipient Ida Martin who created Bluffton Self Help to assist working families, disabled residents, and senior citizens in the Bluffton, South Carolina area when they suffered a financial crisis.
