Queen’s Gallantry Medal for all NHS & Carers who have lost their lives COVID19

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Those carers who have cared for covid19 patients and lost their lives deserve recognition for their selfless sacrifice while caring for others.
I believe they deserve similar recognition to those fighting a visible enemy and facing life threatening danger.

You are the only authority who can recognise their sacrifice and award an appropriate medal to honour their ultimate sacrifice. A medal would recognise their bravery and give a lasting memorial to their selfless bravery. I believe the Queen’s Gallantry Medal would be the appropriate medal presented posthumously
