National Honours And Awards The National Honours and Awards Act, which was promulgated on the 18th July 1969, made it possible for the Nation to recognize those who by their service and contribution have had a meaningful and significant impact on national life. Formal recognition of service to Jamaica and its citizens may be given by the conferment of the Honour of one of the Orders of the six Societies of Honour established under the provisions of the Act, namely: The Order of National Hero The Order of the Nation The Order of Excellence The Order of Merit The Order of Jamaica, and The Order of Distinction, and by the award of the Badge of Honour or the Medal of Honour. The Order of National Hero is the most senior Order. The Honour of the Order of National Hero may be conferred upon any person who was born in Jamaica or is, or at the time of his or her death was, a citizen of Jamaica and rendered to Jamaica service of a most distinguished nature. A member of the Order is entitled to be styled “Rt. Excellent” and the motto of the Order is “He built a city which hath foundations”. The Honour of the Order of the Nation (ON) may be conferred upon any Governor-General of Jamaica and upon any person who has been appointed as Prime Minister of Jamaica, not being a person upon whom the honour of the Order of National Hero has been conferred. A member of the Order is styled “the Most Honourable” and the spouse of the member is also entitled to be so styled. The motto of the Order is “One nation under God”.

A member of the Order is styled “the Most Honourable” and the motto of the Order is “Excellence through Service”. The Honour of the Order of Merit (OM) may be con-ferred upon any citizen of Jamaica or distinguished citizen of a country other than Jamaica (an honorary member) who has achieved eminent international distinction in the field of science, the arts, literature, or any other endeavour. It is not conferred upon more than two persons in any one year or upon any person if the number of living members, other than honorary members, would by reason of such conferment, be increased to more than fifteen. The motto of the Order is “He that does truth comes into the light”, and a member of the Order is styled “Honourable”. The Honour of the Order of Jamaica (OJ) may be conferred upon any Jamaican citizen of outstanding distinction or upon any distinguished citizen of a country other than Jamaica (honorary member). A member of the Order is styled “Honourable” and the motto of the Order is “For a covenant of the People”. The Order of Distinction has two ranks, namely: (i) Commander (CD) and (ii) Officer (OD) The Honour of the Order may be conferred upon any citizen of Jamaica who renders outstanding and important services to Jamaica and upon any distinguished citizen of a country other than Jamaica (an honorary member). The motto of the Order is “Distinction through Service”.

The Medal of Honour for Gallantry may be awarded to officers and other members of the Uniformed Services who have performed acts of gallantry or acts of heroism or have shown great courage in circumstances of extreme danger.
