Gerald and Betty Ford Congressional Gold Medal
The Story
As First Lady, Betty Ford helped artists and handicapped children. She also helped women to be treated more fairly and to get better health care. Her “Betty Ford Center” helps people stop taking drugs and alcohol who haven’t been able to stop by themselves.
Gerald and Betty Ford received this medal because they worked hard to serve the people of the United States and take care of those who needed it.
