The British forces do not hand out medals lightly. The Americans all get medals for just turning up but that is not the tradition in the Commonwealth forces.

@MrTangolizard I guess that the UK has "Americanized" in recent years. Historically, the British forces have been stingy with their medals.

That's appalling. She earned those medals during her service. Here in Canada the Royal Canadian Legion awards each other medals and when they turn out for their observances, they are all festooned with Legion medals. The public knows no difference and think they're all heroes even though the closest connection a lot of them have with the Armed Forces is that Grandad served in WWII. Clown medals.
