Preposition of/for

[donotspamme]

Would like to know if one should say:

In recognition "of"

or

In recognition "for"

Thanks!

Hello,
The two ways are possible it depends on the situation. Here are two examples:
1) The company gave a recognition for my work.
2) I was presented with a gold watch in recognition of many years of good service.
