The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award of the United States, established in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy. It recognizes individuals who have made “especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural, or other significant public or private endeavors.”

The “With Distinction” grade is an extremely variant of the award, given only to a select few recipients, including astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins after the Apollo 11 mission, as well as distinguished figures such as Ralph Bunche, Felix Frankfurter, and Arthur Rubinstein.

This museum reproduction faithfully replicates the complete insignia set of the Medal of Freedom with Distinction, including the sash, star, and miniatures.
