romeomikegolf Multiloquent Registered: Wed Apr 07 2004 Posts: 4875 Loc: Rothwell Northants England UK	After discussing this with another Admin it was decided that this could be posted as a one off, on four Forums (some members only visit certain ones). It is an e-petition about the awarding of a Jubilee Medal next year to SERVING members of H.M. Forces with 5 years service on the day of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The petition is to try to change the criteria so that ALL service personnel that served for 5 years or more during her reign get the medal. Please sign it if you wish to support all veterans who served across the World in various conflicts and got no recognition. The thread will be closed the day after the petition closing date. Thank you. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/3747 _________________________ Reality is an illusion brought about by lack of alcohol Would the last person to leave the planet please turn off the lights.

Or would the medal be restricted to people who happen to survive until 2012?

It's going to be difficult enough as it is. _________________________ Reality is an illusion brought about by lack of alcohol Would the last person to leave the planet please turn off the lights.

I can't sign it as I am "across the pond," but I hope it gets enough sigs to pass. _________________________ The way to get things done is NOT to mind who gets the credit for doing them. --Benjamin Jowett No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.
