Award War Veteran Captain Tom Moore, A Victoria Cross, on his 100th birthday.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to take his remarkable story straight to her Majesty The Queen. Award him the Victoria across. He deserves the highest of honours for serving his Queen & Country, raising in excess of £6m for the NHS. A war veteran aged 99, soon to be 100. Tom’s war ended 75 years ago.

Send @captaintommoore the Victoria Cross for his service to his Queen & Country. Still serving and protecting Great Britain, 75 years after his own war ended. At 99 years old he is still protecting and serving the nation. For his 100th Birthday he deserves all the finest honours. In particular the Victoria Cross medal. A ‘Thank You’ for his continued service. #walkwithtom #CaptainTomMoore #TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay 🇬🇧🌹

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We know lots of people want to petition for Colonel Moore to receive an honour, but the Government will only accept individual nominations, not petitions, so we can’t publish your petition.
