A former British SOE agent who parachuted into France and radioed in 135 messages about German troop dispositions will receive the Legion of Honor for her service in WWII. She currently lives in New Zealand, and the Ambassador of France is going to give her the medal.

 

That's pretty cool.  Heck, she didn't even tell her kids about it until 15 years ago...
