Distribute campaign medals to NHS workers for their help with COVID-19
Recognize NHS front line staff and key workers by commemorating their efforts to control and care for those effected by Covid-19, by issuing a designated campaign medal.
The current corona virus outbreak is not unlike the WWI or WWII, at the end of which our military service personnel received a campaign medal. Why should our NHS staff not receive the same, they are putting their own lives on the line for us, They should be recognized for their hard work, dedication and determination to rid this great nation of an unseen enemy.
