Inspired by last week's article about the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Tony Terranova writes, "I thought readers might get a kick out of seeing this." From his
personal collection, it's actor Jimmy Cagney's PMOF. Thanks! It was awarded March 26, 1984 by President Reagan, a fellow movie actor who costarred with Cagney in the 1938
film 'Boy Meets Girl'. -Editor
