Former Vikings Hall of Fame DT to receive Presidential Medal of Freedom

When talking about the greatest players to ever suit up for the Minnesota Vikings, the discussion should always include Alan Page. He is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and was a key part of the Purple People Eaters defense.

However, Page is much more than just an amazing part of the team’s history. The former MVP and two-time Defensive Player of the Year is also a humanitarian who works hard to improve the lives of those in need in order to give them opportunities to succeed.

Recently, NFL.com announced that Page would be honored by receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Friday.
