Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, the highest-ranking woman in U.S. political history, received a warm welcome in her native Prague — along with an award for her public service.
The Prague Society for International Cooperation presented Albright with its annual citizenship award Saturday for "international public service and understanding."
"Secretary Albright is an example of courage and self-sacrifice," said the group's president, Marc S. Ellenborg.

Albright was born in Prague in 1937 in what was then Czechoslovakia. Eleven years later, her family moved to the United States to escape the country's totalitarian communist regime.
