President Barack Obama awarded 123 Medals, the most ever, followed by President Ronald Reagan with 102 Medal recipients. Two people, Ellsworth Bunker and Colin Powell, are two-time recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The president, who has awarded more medals of freedom than any of his predecessors, also touched on the personal nature of his final awards ceremony, saying each of the recipients had had a profound impact on his life. Everybody on this stage has touched me in a very powerful, very personal way, Obama said.
