President Ronald Reagan presented Graham with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1983.

He said:

Reverend William “Billy” Graham’s untiring evangelism has spread the word of God to every corner of the globe, and made him one of the most inspirational spiritual leaders of the Twentieth Century. As a deeply committed Christian, his challenge to accept Jesus Christ has lifted the hearts, assuaged the sorrows and renewed the hopes of millions. Billy Graham is an American who lives first and always for his fellow citizens. In honoring him, we give thanks for God’s greatest spiritual gifts—faith, hope, and love.

At a time when the nation mourned the 9/11 terror attacks, Graham delivered a sermon during the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance declared by President George W. Bush.
