Trump to award Dan Gable the Presidential Medal of Freedom
https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/2020/10/14/president-donald-trump-award-dan-gable-presidential-medal-freedom-usa-wrestling-iowa-iowa-state/3650467001/
Dan Gable is about to add a significant award to his already-crowded trophy case.
President Donald J. Trump plans to award Gable with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Gable told the Des Moines Register on Wednesday. It is the nation's highest honor for a civilian.
"To get an award like this, it's a lifetime achievement award, not only for what you did, but for what you continue to do," Gable told the Register Wednesday morning. "People are texting me and calling me, and they're just like off the wall."
Gable said he was notified by the White House through a written letter. The Register obtained a copy of the letter, dated Oct. 13, which says Gable will be "the first athlete and coach from the sport of wrestling to receive this distinguished honor." He will also be the 17th honoree of the Trump presidency.

Found out yesterday that the 2 teen girls next door are infected. Thanks for opening those schools Kim. I am hoping their grandparents don't get it.
This may a massive breach of Hawkeye admiration, but Dan Gable has always been a person whose has messed up priorities to me. What I know of him he is pretty much a jerk. Sorry about his sister and all, but I don't think that is an excuse for some of the stuff he has done.
My opinion only. That and $5 gets you a cup of coffee.
