Help and support needed, hope you can ALL help
« on: Monday 09 November 09 13:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I have started an e petition on the Number 10 website and would appreciate your help.
It is to    " Reverse the decision made by DEFRA not to award medals posthumously."
My dear Mum was in the Land Army and sadly passed away before DEFRA decided to award them for their war efforts. Hilary Benn was quoted in the Timesonline as saying " The women worked tirelessly for the benefit of the nation and deserved to be recognised"  I feel families should be given the option to apply for these medals should they wish to. As is the case with the Bevan Boys.
Please sign this if you agree.
The link they sent me isn't brilliant, go to www.Number10 .gov.uk, communicate them e-petitions, mine starts with "Reverse the dedision" etc. Started on Nov 5th by Debbie Hawes.
I hope you can all help.
Huge thank you to the moderators for allowing me to post this

I will sign your petition as my Nan was in the land army, she recieved her medal as thankfully she is still alive. I know how much it meant to her to get it, and as her granddaughter I am very proud of the contribution she made.

I did try twice to find the petition, but failed, all the ones it brought up had been rejected, can you tell me what the rest of the petition is called so that it is easier to find

Sarah, the link isn't brilliant have posted a link above but, if that fails, it was created on Nov 5th 2009. Or search for Reverse the decision made by DEFRA not to award medals posthumously.
I have emailed them to refresh it but, surprise surprise..no reply yet.
Thanks again

Hi Debbie

Found it and signed it a couple of hours ago. They said they are sending an e-mail to validate it, but nothing yet.  :( :(

Good luck with it
