I sit on the Canadian Decorations Advisory Committee (Bravery). I can tell you that some medals for bravery have been presented. For example, the Medal of Bravery has been awarded to several Americans. We also have meritorious service medals. These decorations have lesser value. It is the decorations for bravery and valour that are more difficult to obtain. I think there is a minimal number of those medals.
