Miriam Adelson is among seven people Mr. Trump is recognizing with the
medal, the highest honor America can give a civilian. She is a doctor,
philanthropist and humanitarian, but is perhaps best known as the wife
of Sheldon Adelson, a Las Vegas casino magnate considered one of the
nation's most powerful Republican donors.
The other recipients include retiring Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of
Utah, one of the longest-serving senators in U.S. history; Alan Page,
who was elected to the Minnesota Supreme Court after an NFL career with
the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears; and Roger Staubach, the Hall of
Fame Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
Posthumous honors are being granted to Elvis Presley, Babe Ruth and
Antonin Scalia, the conservative Supreme Court justice.
