Well, he's the only one who makes a point of it, anyway.

In order:

CKE - Companion of the Order of Knights Eternal: the Zetan honor that carries with it the Omega-2 retroviral treatment. (See also Virginia Shepard's BPGD entry.)

KCVO - Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order: bestowed upon those who have rendered a significant personal service for the British Crown.

GC - George Cross: the UK's highest decoration for out-of-combat valor.

TCBC - Targ's Claw with Blood Crescent: a Klingon military decoration roughly akin to the Distinguished Service Cross. (The Blood Crescent is a modifier to the award meaning, basically, "only more so.") Utena Tenjou has one of these for the Valiant's capture of the Amar.

So you were two for four. :)
