Tymarian Military Awards and Decorations Proposal

As Minister of Defense, I submit to both Houses of Legislature that these awards be given to soldiers and civilian citizens of our micronation as rewards for service to the state.  Based on the military traditions of many nations of the world, I have taken the time to design and describe what I think these awards and decorations stand for and look like.  As a soldier, I realize that positive awards and recognition should go to those individuals who accomplish certain tasks or missions that benefit the nation or micronationalism as a whole.  These Awards and Decorations are only the first of many to be created.  I have described and created the first ten, the ones to follow should be created by the Legislative authority of Tymaria should there be a situation that I may have missed.
