I am delighted and honoured to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It is a great privilege to be awarded the Medal, especially by President Obama, whom I admire deeply. I am very much looking forward to travelling to Washington to meet this remarkable man and to receive the Medal of Freedom on behalf of myself, my family, my friends and my colleagues in science worldwide.Another recipient could not be found more worthy. Congratulations, Dr. Hawking, and continued blessings!

Hey Zorro - Awesome! The video is easily understood. It must have taken a little bit to find that particular one. I noticed that there are plenty of others. I love the History Channel. Thanks!
