Harry Truman: “These medals are for bravery and service in the highest degree.”

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 ultimate responsibility is mine in any event.

The Constitution belongs to no one group of people and to no single branch of the Government.
