Flags put out in honour of brave man (10)

I believe the answer is:

decoration

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'flags put out' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'honour of brave man' is the second definition.
'decoration' can be an answer for 'honour' (decoration is a kind of honour). I'm unsure of the 'of brave man' bit.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decoration that I've seen before include "Adornment - medal" , "New Year's honour, say" , "Ornaments - medal" , "Bunting (in honour of a brave man?)" , "award" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
