What the petition asks
Have the names of the fallen etched within the walls of the National Arboretum or on a bespoke monument, hold an annual act of remembrance on the initial day of the outbreak in UK and recognise those that have done acts of valour or have had gone above and beyond the call of duty.
It is important to recognise those that have given their lives or who have acted with extreme valour and that have made ground breaking achievements to control this pandemic. I believe that this will be received with great support and appreciation by the whole country and would set a standard of global recognition.
