The L é gion d'honneur (English translation: Legion of Honor) is the
highest chivalric order awarded by the French government. It was
established by Napoleon, then the first ruling Napoleon, in 1802 to
replace the feudalism of the old feudal dynasty. It is the highest honor
awarded by the French government. It is the symbol of military and
civilian honor in France and one of the most famous medals in the world.
The Honorary Corps is an honorary organization, which includes soldiers
and civilians who have made outstanding contributions to the French
Republic; The Legion of Honor is the symbol of the honor and reputation
of its members. Due to the changes of the times, it is more appropriate
to translate it into the "French Medal of Honor". The ribbon of the
medal is red and is selected in January (New Year's Day), April (Easter)
and July (French National Day) each year.
