Arnie Getting His Congressional Medal: "Proud of anything the House and the Senate could agree upon."
/Stephen Hennessey with the details of Arnold Palmer's ceremony today on Capitol Hill to receive the Congressional Gold Medal.
John Boehner summed up The King quite nicely:
"He didn't set out to change the game. But he did. Arnold Palmer democratized golf. And made us think that we too could go out and play, and made us believe we could do anything really. All we had to do was go out and try," said Speaker of the House John Boehner, one of a number of politicians who helped honor Palmer in a cermony in the Rotunda of the Capitol building.
"You've struck our hearts and our minds, and today your government and fellow citizens are striking the Golf Medal for you."
