Officers (Medal) is established for the purpose of recognizing those
public safety officers adjudged to have shown extraordinary valor
above and beyond the call of duty in the exercise of their official

, probation, or parole officers;

Pursuant to 36 U.S.C. 136-137, the President designates May 15 of

appropriate time during the commemoration of Police Week, as far as
is practicable.

services.

The President of the United States was a known drug user during his days as Governor of Arkansas, according to Gennifer Flowers, who carried on a 12 year love affair with Bill Clinton before he sought the White House in 1992.

Flowers alleges that she was an eyewitness to Clinton’s marijuana use and says he offered her cocaine during their relationship.

Flowers gave her shocking account to Inside Cover during an exclusive appearance Friday afternoon on Sean Hannity’s WABC talk radio show in New York, where the onetime Clinton confidante answered an array of probing questions on topics considered taboo in other news venues.

INSIDE COVER: Ms. Flowers, (former Clinton girlfriend) Sally Perdue says that Bill Clinton used drugs in her presence, specifically cocaine. Did you ever see Bill Clinton use drugs in your presence?

FLOWERS: Yes. He smoked marijuana in my presence and offered me the opportunity to snort cocaine if I wanted to. I wasn’t into that. Bill clearly let me know that he did cocaine. And I know people that knew he did cocaine. He did tell me that when he would use a substantial amount of cocaine that his head would itch so badly that he would become self conscious at parties where he was doing this. Because all he wanted to do while people were talking to him is stand around and scratch his head.
