Nooo. It took them a long time to decide to award them a medal. Please don't confuse awarding medals with honouring people. Just because there is no medal does not mean that the nation did (does) not honour them.
Many many military members are honoured and they never get any medals.
I think it is great that they did decide to award them a medal. They deserve it. But I would not say that these brave men have not been honoured simply because they did not have a special medal for them.
