Letters to the Editor Give Them A Medal
The New Medal Group, Australia Wide, is Petitioning the Federal Government for a Medal of Recognition, for ALL who have joined the Australian Defence Forces, since January 1946, both Regulars and CMF / Reserves. At the moment, only THREE groups are Recognised (Since WW2) and can wear THEIR OWN MEDAL, IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, on ANZAC Day. 1. Served for Fifteen [15] years. The Average is 8-9 years. 2.Have been Overseas. Many never get 'invited', particularly Women. 3.The Conscripts into National Service.[1950�s & Vietnam period Conscripts] None of the first Group left Australia -- some, in the Vietnam period, did NOT serve overseas and were not Recognised.. We believe, ALL who have Committed to Serve their Nation, are Battle ready - after 2 years, should Receive Recognition, in the NORMAL Military way. A Medal and Ribbon. Nothing else. More Information? Contact. John MOORE at [email protected] The Small Country Town of Brunswick Heads, on the Northern Rivers of N.S.W. ; Residents and Visitors, Challenge other Towns, Villages and Suburbs, in Australia to raise more Petitioners than we have. This Town, firmly believes in the Concept. This Week, we have NOW Posted to our Federal Member 3,201 Petitioners Names / Signatures etc. More are amassing. Does ANY other area believe so firmly in righting the injustice to these proud young Men and Women, who made the Highest Committment to Serve their Nation? Dave MARRINON.
