President Trump to Award Bill Belichick Medal of Freedom

President Trump will award Patriots head coach Bill Belichick with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday, according to Politico's Meridith McGraw.

Belichick's honor will be one of the final events of the Trump presidency before President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20. Trump will reportedly award Ohio congressman Jim Jordan with the Medal of Freedom on Tuesday before a trip to Alamo, Texas on Wednesday.

Belichick is one of many sports figures to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Golfers Annika Sorenstam and Gary Player were given the honor on Wednesday.
