The Order of Mendi for Bravery is a South African honour, instituted on 30 November 2003. It was originally called the "Mendi Decoration for Bravery", and was renamed as an order on 22 October 2004. Although this is primarily a civilian honour, there have been a few military awards, including a collective award to the South African Air Force and South African Navy units which rescued the passengers from a sinking ocean liner in 1991, and a collective award to SAAF units which carried out flood relief operations in Mozambique in 2001. ==Classes== The order is granted by the president of South Africa, for bravery in saving life or property. It has three classes: * Gold (OMBG), for conspicuous bravery. * Silver (OMBS), for exceptional bravery, * Bronze (OMBB), for outstanding bravery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Order of Mendi for Bravery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
