I like to think that back in feudal times, some king handed
out a “Sentry Of The Century” award
This would assume the fact that back in feudal times, they actually had awards ceremonies. I think the rampant celebration of doing a good job is a relatively recent phenomenon.
I would agree, but at the same time, we don't really have sentries anymore. Sure, there are security guards and whatnot all over the place, but I don't think they're called "sentries." It's a little sad, really.
Also, back in feudal times, if you were a good sentry, that usually means that you were still alive after the castle was attacked. Being a bad sentry probably meant you were dead. Also a little sad.
But great motivation for being good at your job!
So whether or not some knight of the realm was presented with the title "Sentry Of The Century," I prefer to think that it happened. You can choose to believe it or not...but it's certainly more fun if you do.
