Politics aside, I find it really cool that people get awards for simple life achievements. Especially these days where manual work is looked upon while still being extremely harsh.
There's a sense of pride from getting recognition / medals / awards from the state that is only experienced by famous people unfortunately.

I inherited a medallion awarded in 1930s Germany for Excellent Pigeon Breeding. I have no backstory for it.
