It's called service above and beyond the call of duty. You know, stuff like extreme bravery, exemplary courage! And I don't care if you are Canadian, German, French, or Martian. If you perform bravely, above and beyond the call of duty, you are entitled to have that act of heroism recognized, even if only as a symbol of gratititude, from the citizens of one nation to a citizen of another another nation that was also willing to send it's son's and daughters into harm's way for the greater good!
Remember, I'm not Canada bashing and you shouldn't make light of bravery under fire! I've never had to do that and I have the greatest respect for those that have.
