I have read it is based upon how the "chosen person" has had an affect on the entire world.

Does he deserve recognition, definitely YES, but should he have been chosen even if he was "on the list", IMO probably not.
Right on post.

He is a nice admirable and honorable man who deserves recognition but not on this platform.

His vigorous defense of John McCain when McCain was being personally smeared by the government because of his service stands out to me.

I think much too much is made of this award myself, but the young lady who won the cover is certainly qualified.
