Prime Minister Bruce Golding has written to Governor-General Professor Kenneth Hall recommending two additions to the list of persons who will receive National Honours and awards this year.
A statement from Office of the Prime Ministers says Mr. Golding has recommended the conferment of the Badge of Honour for Gallantry on eight-year-old Don-Christopher Barnes.
Don-Christopher saved his friend's life after he fell into a pool earlier this year.
The Prime Minister has also recommended the conferment of the Order of Jamaica on Auditor-General Adrian Strachan.
Mr. Strachan is currently a member of the Order of Distinction in the rank of Commander.
The awards were recommended to the Governor-General in accordance with the provisions of the National Honours and Awards Act of 1969 and became effective on October 1.
The Governor-General will present the awards at the National Honours and Awards Ceremony at King's House on October 15.
