What the petition asks
Next year on June 14 sees the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland.
We call upon the Government to arrange and hold a substantial and fitting commemoration event on Tuesday June 14 2022 or the weekend of June 11th and 12th to mark 40 years since the liberation of the Falkland Islands.

255 British servicemen lost their lives during liberation of the Falkland islands and many more have suffered physically or mentally ever since. It feels like the Falklands war is almost a forgotten war and that holding national event would offer true recognition to those who took part and a reminder to the nation of what was achieved.
Portsmouth which was the embarkation and departure point for many of those who served on the task force would in my opinion be a fitting location for a this.
