Gates gets the Medal of Freedom - POLITICO.com Print View: "President Barack Obama on Thursday surprised departing Defense Secretary Robert Gates with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, praising Gates’s “profound sense of duty.”
In a farewell ceremony that was at turns somber, emotional and wry on a grassy parade ground below the brooding facade of the Pentagon, Obama hailed the low-key Gates and his service to eight presidents."
