Re: Medal for Selflesness
I don't think I ever posted pics of the following award...
A documented (slight water damage) unnumbered Medal for Selflessness. The medal was awarded to Namdag Chimid on May 8, 1979. So, curious what he did in terms of saving a life or protecting the state property. Well, my memory was refreshed when the following came in my inbox today: An award decree for a posthumously awarded medal for selflessness. Amazing bit of history behind the person and medal coming to life! =============================== DECREE OF THE PRESIDIUM OF THE PEOPLE’S GREAT KHURAL OF THE MONGOLIAN PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC May 8, 1979. # 123, Ulaanbaatar On awarding the Medal for Selflessness to some individuals posthumously The Presidium of the People’s Great Khural decrees: To award the following individuals, who sacrificed their lives to the cause of protecting the public livestock from the effects of the sudden powerful blizzards that affected the country in April 1979 and thus, honorably fulfilling their citizens’ duties, posthumously with the Medal for Selflessness. 1.
