==Medal of Bravery or Medal of Valor==
Several English-speaking nations have a medal called the "Medal of Bravery" or the "Medal of Valor", including [[Canada]] and [[Tanzania]]. The three Canadian ''Bravery Decorations'' were created in 1972, to recognize people who risked their lives to try to save or protect the lives of others: the Cross of Valour (C.V.) recognizes acts of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme peril; the Star of Courage (S.C.) recognizes acts of conspicuous courage in circumstances of great peril; and the Medal of Bravery (M.B.) recognizes acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances.<ref>[http://www.gg.ca/document.aspx?id=13503 gg.ca: "Decorations for Bravery Ceremony"], 2 Feb 2010</ref> Non-English speaking nations which have or had a medal usually translated into English as "Bravery Medal" or "Medal of Bravery" include:
* Albania – ''Medalja e Trimërisë'' (1945–1982)
