Order of the British Empire

The Order of the British Empire (OBE) is a British honor awarded for significant contributions to society in various fields, such as arts, science, charity, and public service. Established in 1917, it recognizes both British citizens and foreign nationals. Recipients are appointed by the monarch and are categorized into different ranks, with OBE being one of the mid-level honors. Recipients use the post-nominal letters "OBE" after their name to denote their achievement, which serves to publicly acknowledge their efforts and impact on the community or nation.
