Maybe next to the names of the list of recipients a brief description of what their achievements were.
I need a source for Nasser being awarded the status, or I'm removing it. I can't find any mention on google, and I would think such a thing would be well-documented. Sherurcij (talk) (bounties) 05:51, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vladimir Melnik
What about Vladimir Melnik? It says on the article about the "liquidators" (workers who helped to clean up after the Chernobyl (sp?) meltdown) was awarded it for placing a radition sensor on the reactor.
[edit] First women recipients
Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was not the first woman recipient of the title - she was the first WARTIME woman recipient. The first women to be awarded with the title were Valentina Grizodubova, Polina Osipenko and Marina Raskova in 1938 - see [5].
