Presidentens frihetsmedalj

USA:s främsta civila utmärkelse
(Omdirigerad från Frihetsmedaljen)

Presidential Medal of Freedom (svenska: Presidentens frihetsmedalj) är USA:s främsta civila utmärkelse. USA:s president delar ut den efter eget gottfinnande till personer som gett ett särskilt anmärkningsvärt bidrag till den nationella säkerheten i USA, till världsfreden eller för kulturella eller andra offentliga eller privata ansträngningar. Medaljutdelningen brukar ske i Vita huset, antingen (beroende på väder och årstid) inomhus i östra rummet eller utomhus i rosenträdgården.

Certifikat för Frihetsmedaljen till Devin Nunes innan underskrift av president Donald Trump, 4 januari 2021.

Medaljen inrättades av president John F. Kennedy 1963 genom att utfärda Executive Order 11085[1] och ersatte den tidigare "Frihetsmedaljen" som instiftades av Harry S. Truman 1945 för att hedra dem som tjänstgjort under andra världskriget.[2]

Till skillnad från många andra amerikanska utmärkelser kan även icke-amerikaner belönas med presidentens frihetsmedalj. Den kan utdelas till samma person mer än en gång och kan även ges postumt, som till exempel till John F. Kennedy efter mordet.

Enligt Executive Order 11085 utfärdas frihetsmedaljen i två grader, varav den högre benämns med tillägget with Distinction.[3] Enbart 26 personer har tilldelats den högre graden.[3]
