I mentioned my brother because peacekeepers are the theme of this ANZAC Day. He also served in the Army and Air Force but was very proud of his UN service and very pleased when it was officially recognised.
I have another associated who is / was involved in forensic accounting, tracking and tracing money laundering / corporate theft by drug cartels or some foreign governments like North Korea, etc., etc., also counterfeiting of both currency and high priced goods like wine or pharmaceuticals. They also train foreign governments how to do this type of forensic investigation.
On arrival at some foreign destinations, private or commercial travel, they are / were at such risk from cartels they get collected off the tarmac by armoured convoys before the aircraft ever reaches the public terminal / gate.
When this ends, they can't ever receive public recognition for their work because the risk never ends even in retirement. They effectively become captive / hermits in their own land. I understand why they can't be received publicly, but to me they are not rewarded anywhere near enough for the ongoing risk. Oddly, they never ask for reward, they do what they do out of service to the community.
