Several years ago when I worked at Stanford University Medical Center, my wife, Joan, and I met with Tom Brokaw in his NBC office in New York. He was the anchor of "NBC Nightly News" at the time. We had a delightful, productive visit discussing an item of mutual interest. We have long admired this humble, highly talented and gracious American and so we were thrilled to hear last evening that he will soon be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in our country.
As this is Veterans Day, we salute Tom Brokaw who has always cared deeply about veterans and citizens around the globe. And, congratulations to all the other honorees for their many contributions to mankind.
