[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1276300, member: 18945"] It's one of the reasons why we in the USA have so many awards FINALLY given decades after the act of heroism. I read of 2 recently--one for ww1 and another for ww2, that were finally recognized--one of course was posthumously even tho the service member survived the war but not the years since. It took the French less than 1 month to permanently and forever award certain US Army and Marine units the Croix de guerre for their actions in WW1 at Belleau Wood. By that I mean that these unit members will always be authorized to wear the "Rope" on their left shoulder and it's been nearly a century now.
