Award of a National Defence Medal

Closed 1,300 signatures

What the petition asks

I propose an award of a National Defence Medal to all serving and ex- serving members of HM Forces in recognition of the service that they have given/give to their country and to the people, subject to meeting certain criteria.
Not everyone was able to go into a war like zone but they nevertheless gave 100% effort.

Please recognise their efforts.
