Steve Jobs: The US President will present a posthumous award to Apple Co-Founder

On July 7, the US President will posthumously present the Medal of Freedom to Steve Jobs, co-founder, and CEO of Apple. The most incredible honor will be given to Jobs and 16 additional individuals by US President Joe Biden.

Statement from White House

These 17 Americans, the White House claimed in a statement, “show the power of potential and embody the essence of the nation”—hard work, tenacity, and faith. They have also bravely acted to bring about change in their communities, dedicated their lives to advocating for the most vulnerable among us, and triumphed over significant challenges to achieve remarkable achievements in the arts and sciences.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is regarded as the nation’s highest civilian honor. The honor is given to people who have made outstanding contributions to US wealth, national security, or other significant societal, public, or private endeavors. With Steve Jobs, it is simple to see how the progress of the business he co-founded, Apple, contributed to the US and tech economies.
