WASHINGTON (AP) — The director of the CIA, two musicians and a former Buffalo Bills quarterback are among the people being honored with a national prize for public service, which was co-founded 40 years ago by former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Recipients of the 2012 Jefferson Awards will accept their honors Tuesday in Washington during a luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and at an evening celebration at Constitution Hall. Most of the 18 recipients of the awards, dubbed a "Nobel Prize" for public service, are not celebrities. Finalists who will learn whether they won Tuesday include a leader of the Boy Scouts in Michigan and a Wisconsin woman who runs a local clothing drive.

The awards don't come with any money; honorees get a medal and a certificate.
