To
ask the British Government to approach the Queen on behalf of the
veterans of the first Gulf War so that they may have Her Majestys
approval to wear the medals issued by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and
Kuwait. Her Majesty has given other veterans medals to wear issued by a
foreign Country namely the PINGAT JASA MALAYSIA medal.We as veterans do
not disagree that the veterans of that campaign should not wear that
medal they served and deserve to wear that campaign medal. We went to
these Countries to defend and liberate them from aggressors. We put our
lives on the line for these Countries on behalf of our Queen. A lot of
veterans are suffering physical and mental health problems from the war
(which is not recognised), but we are still not allowed to wear the
medals. I think wearing these medals would be appreciated by the
Countries who issued them.
I am honestly overwhelmed by the momentum this has gained lately. This movement belongs entirely to the veterans who served and the families who have kept this conversation alive.

Fully agree - The double medal policy is a half thought out policy, other parts of the Commonwealth allow it to happen (Austrailia, Canada) but not UK!
