Attention: With the release of Piratez version .99A, Dioxine has integrated an excellent set of commendations into the main mod. As such, I have dropped support of this mod. If others want to work with it, they are free do so! Thanks! - Ivan 
(In order to move to the new integrated commendations mod, you must clear out previous medals.
1. Enter debug mode in Geoscape. - CTRL-D
2. Clear medals - CTRL-C
Alternately you can remove all soldier diaries: CTRL -A
3. Leave debug mode: CTRL-D)
