I am glad they were named, and would even guess that they wanted to be named.
Any Iraqi courageous enough to join the ICDC, or serve in the new government in a public position knows full well that he is risking his own life, and his loved ones.
The Iraqi bad guys have been terrorizing their neighborhoods for years. And the Iraqis who opposed Saddam have all been victims of these neighborhood bullies in one way or another, including having their little children brutally tortured and murdered in front of them because the child's criticism of Saddam, parroting a father who slipped and complained in front of young ears, was overheard.
The Iraqis who earned these awards by their courageous actions will be honored by their loved ones, good neighbors, and their names and actions will inspire others.
