Scott Pelley, managing editor for the CBS Evening News and correspondent for 60 Minutes led the evening as Master of Ceremonies. The George F. Kennan Award for Distinguished Public Service was awarded to Ambassador Eikenberry for his service as U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan from May 2009 until July 2011, where he led the civilian surge by President Obama to reverse insurgent momentum and set the transition to full Afghan sovereignty. Prior to becoming Chief of Mission in Kabul, Ambassador Eikenberry had a 35-year career in the U.S. Army. Last year's recipient, New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W.
