...Stripes Forever, escorted Armstrong and then Collins around the floor between courses, stood to lead applause for the band during The Marines' Hymn, beamed paternally as he awarded the astronauts the Medal of Freedom.* Delightedly he announced that it was "the highest privilege I could have" to offer a concluding toast to Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. The President seemed relaxed and already refreshed from his first few days of vacation in nearby San Clemente at his new Western White House.
