Honour Medal.

[Chuck In Oregon]

I'm not sure if anyone wants to see this or not, but what the heck, this kind of thing doesn't happen to me every day. I received this from president Shevardnadze last Thursday morning in a ceremony at the state chancellory here in Tbilisi. As I reminded my wife, I win a medal every third of a century or so.

I'm staying in today, Sunday 11-02-03, as this is the day of parliamentary elections and not a good time to be on the streets. I'll try to post a few other images of some badges I have recently acquired.

The cased medal also comes with a nice presentation folder containing the proclamation (bi-lingual for mine) in addition to the laminated award card. They told me that I'm the first foreigner to be awarded this. It is their highest civilian medal.

Thanks for putting up with this.
