These awards give recipients a pat on the back for bravery, good deeds, excellent work, or brilliant ideas. The awarding organization wants award recipients to know the value of their contribution, so it usually helps if the person winning the award is there to accept it. But sometimes, achievements are so great they require recognition at all costs, even if the recognized party is already dead. luke101 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:04:25 GMT
