The Tribute List

Past tribute recipients
These celebrities or personages were previously honoured by Colonel's mascots but have now become ineligible. Super Hans has been authorized by the Colonel to grant a one-mission period of compassionate leave to mascots who find themselves in this situation, before reassignment to a new celebrity or personage.
Super Hans found himself in a pickle when he found himself on compassionate leave on Mission 35 35 Kendal, leaving himself unavailable to grant compassionate leave to other mascots, a situation which had to be resolved by the direct intervention of the Colonel.
Since that incident, Super Hans has recused himself from honouring a specific celebrity or personage, and focuses his efforts on general appreciation.
