Government & Councils to recognise recipients of the Victoria Cross

Closed 31 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on the Government & Local Councils to recognise the outstanding bravery & potential for sacrifice which those awarded the Victoria Cross have shown and to bring forward plans to respect the award in a similar way to which the USA honours recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honour
Examples of the recognition of the way in which the USA respects the Medal of Honour http://www.military.com/benefits/veteran-benefits/the-medal-of-honor.html which Govt & Councils may consider There are few living recipients so any 'burden' would not be too great in recognition of their bravery & sacrifice http://www.victoriacross.org.uk/aalivevc.htm
