Buckingham Palace has announced that Christiane Amanpour will receive the prestigious honor of being named as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). The honor will be conferred on her during the official celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's birthday.
Amanpour is the Chief International Correspondent for CNN News. I can think of no correspondent who deserves this honor more.
She has long been the premiere war correspondent of our time. If the bullets are flying anywhere in the world, Amanpour will be there giving us the truth about what is happening. She doesn't feed us the government line like many other journalists do.
Thank you for your bravery and service Ms. Amanpour. I hope this is followed by many other awards. You have earned them.
