Give Captain Tom Moore a knighthood for services to the NHS

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

HM Government should awarding a Captain Tom Moore a KBE.

Already a decorated WWII veteran, now in his 100th year, Captain Tom Moore set out to raise £1,000 for the NHS.

To do so, he has continually walked around his garden (with this help of a walking aid), he has raised phenomenal amounts of money for the NHS, showing unbelievable levels of pride for our NHS as well as compassion for people who are fighting to keep out nation healthy and save lives.

Recognising his determination and love for the NHS and fellow man should not go unrecognised.
