What the petition asks
Promote Tom Moore from rank of Captain to Major.
At 99 years of age, he's accomplished something truly amazing with his fund raising walks in support of NHS charities. It would be an amazing 100th birthday present to promote this gentleman to the next level; that of Major.
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.
