ai generated text
President Joe Biden has awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal to 20 individuals, including Democratic congressman Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney, for their role in the bipartisan congressional investigation into the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. This award is the second highest civilian medal, and it has sparked controversy as former President Trump has threatened to imprison Liz Cheney for her involvement in the investigation.
President Biden believes these Americans are bonded by their common decency and commitment to serving others.
The country is better because of their dedication and sacrifice.
Together, you embody the central truth: we're a great nation because we're a good people.
Our democracy begins and ends with the duties of citizenship. That's our work for the ages and it's what all of you embody.
