There is hereby established a medal to be known as the National Security Medal with accompanying ribbons and appurtenances.
We venerate these documents not because they are old, not because they are valuable historical relics, but because they still have meaning for us.
The decoration established by this order shall be awarded by the President of the United States or, under regulations approved by him, by such person or persons as he may designate.
The longer I live, the more I am impressed by the significance of our simple official oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
