A Medal for Front Line Staff dealing with Covid19
A Medal for Front Line Staff dealing with Covid19
Why this petition matters

As a Soldier I was awarded a medal "For Campaign Service". I am proud to wear the medal as it reminds me of the service I gave and the Comrades I lost.
The Front line staff dealing with Covid19 are on a Campaign, and will be frightened, worn out, and will lose comrades. They will continue to do their duty and more.
Watch the BBC report by Fergus Walsh' and look at the fear and worry in the eyes of the staff being interviewed. Their faces tell the harrowing story of their days toil even behind a mask.
These people entered the service to help others, and the sacrifice they make daily by not seeing their own families and risking their own lives should be recognised.
We believe they should be awarded a medal in recognition of their service
In better times the medal holders and their families will wear their medal and look back with pride on their service in this most difficult time.
