Create a National public holiday to acknowledge our NHS and Emergency Services
We have to acknowledge the hard work our NHS and Emergency Services do on a daily basis. In these times and on numerous other occasions they have risked their lives to save ours. It's time we had a national day of recognition and support for these vital services and do this every year.
We have recognised the services that protect us, we have honoured those who made the ultimate sacrifice in our national times of need. We honour the memory and the sacrifices made to keep us safe. Now it is time to elevate our support and thank our amazing NHS & Emergency Services who risked their lives in our National time of need. Let us come together as one, celebrate the effort, honour those loved ones we lost and thank these vital services so we never forget their sacrifices.
