Norman Mineta to receive Distinguished Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement and Public Service – the highest honor by the Japanese American National Museum. Frankly, I didn’t know there was such an honor or that there’s higher honors and lower honors, but this is great. For a lot of you, you have no idea who this man is. He’s not in a sex video.
