And to add the obvious to Marc's answer, he would also have already received the medal for Combat service (10 years) and the order of the red star (15 years).
In the case of motherhood awards, they were also not receiving the previous medals and orders when the awards got instituted. They just started with the next highest award. If i remember correctly the Mother Hero 1 received it for having 11 children, but she never received the lesser motherhood awards.
