The Starmen were the subjects of many award ceremonies, dinners and
receptions, interviews, and parades. With them were Richard Starlight,
Robert Nolan, Jesus Madera-Cruz, and others who had been instrumental
in freeing the Earth from destruction. The three Starmen were delighted
to see Steve Cliff again, for he was honored along with them for the
part he had played in the liberation of Mars. Jack and Jill were also
invited, but preferred to remain on the Moon out of the limelight.
The highlight of the celebration was a ceremony on the grounds of the
capital in New Washington, when the President presented medals to the
Starmen for their valor. The medals had been fashioned from plates in
the Gloria, the spaceship that had taken Lee High Eagle to Mars in
2014, the first spaceship to carry human beings to another planet.
When it was all over, the Starmen returned to their homes in Amundsen
City for a long and much-needed time of rest.
One afternoon, they were in Richard Starlight's office. Richard had not
had an opportunity to hear the Starmen's entire story from beginning to
end. He had invited them to join him, John Rwakatare, Robert Nolan, and
Beowulf Denn for a relaxing afternoon so that the top four leaders of
Starlight Enterprise and Nolan Mining Enterprise could hear firsthand
the complete tale of the Starmen's adventures.
