John Quincy Adams and George W Bush
Lincoln's son, Robert , had this dubious honor.
There were no awards of the Medal of Freedom in 1948. For more information, see the attached link. Actually, this is not exactly right. My grandfather, John R. Schultz, was awarded the Medal of Freedom on June 2, 1948 at Fort McKinley for "services rendered to American Prisoners of War during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines." I have a letter signed by a Captain Stubbs, dated May 18, 1948 advising my grandfather that he had received this honor: the medal is in kept by his eldest grandchild. However, when conducting my own research with my son, I saw that the look of the medal is totally different to the one of today. I do know that in 1962, President Kennedy issued a Presidential Decree changing the name to the Presidential Medal of Freedom and he expanded the award to include contributions of citizens in all facets of life. So, that's the concrete information I do have, but unfortunately, I have been unable to find any information on the web regarding 1948 recipients. There's obviously a piece of information missing somewhere. If anyone out there can help me solve this mystery please contact me.
