You may want to consider signing this petition about the issue of HM Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal:
This should be passed on to all ex-service folk to sign, 100,000 signatures and the government has to listen!

Next year the Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal will be presented to service personnel, emergency service personnel and prison officers with more than five years service.There are no plans to award the medal to veterans, many of whom have given a lot more than five years service during the reign of Her Majesty.
 
This petition asks that the medal should also be awarded to veterans who served Her Majesty during her 60 years on the throne.
Please sign it.
