The 1985 Medalists
Biographies of the two winners of the 1985 Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal, Reverend Norman Vincent Peale and Brigadier General Chuck Yeager. The biography of Peale covers his postings as a minister, his publishing and and business ventures with his wife, and his various radio programs. It notes his father’s support of Theodore Roosevelt and lists some of the many awards he has been granted. The biography of Yeager reviews his record as a combat pilot, lists his leadership roles in the United States Air Force, and notes his record breaking achievements as a test pilot, including establishing a new record on his flight to New York for the awards dinner. It also concludes with a catalog of the various awards he has been given.
A photograph of Peale sitting at a desk and a photograph of Yeager standing in front of a F-20 Tigershark fighter aircraft supplement the text.

Norman Vincent Peale and the Religion of Service
P. James Roosevelt discusses the ministerial work of Reverend Norman Vincent Peale and his wife Ruth Stafford Peale. Roosevelt notes that Reverend Peale is the first minister to be awarded the Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal. Roosevelt highlights the four churches which Peale has served as minister and cites statistics about his Foundation For Christian Living and his magazine Guideposts. Roosevelt concludes by quoting four passages each from Peale and Theodore Roosevelt and noting that each used a bully pulpit to preach much the same message.
A photograph of Peale, P. James Roosevelt, and William Davison Johnston, President of the Theodore Roosevelt Association, accompanies the text.
