What the petition asks

We Veterans and supporting civilians feel that a special day. would increase the understanding between active service persons, cadets, veterans, and the civilian population of the United Kingdom.
The day could be used country wide for
1 Public relations activities.
2 Military meet the people events.
3 Veterans in the schools.
4 Covenant Representatives inform the public about their activities.
5 Corps, and Regimental associations inform about their activities in helping serving, and veteran service persons.

And many more such activities, informing the general public about the quality of our Armed Forces, its Veterans, the Cadet Forces, and the supporting civilian workers. Which we know is second too none.
