Rejected petition Award the George Medal to Captain Tom Moore

I would ask Parliament, that Captain Tom Moore be awarded the George Medal (or Cross given his military service) in recognition of his fundraising efforts for the NHS during the Covid-19 pandemic.

More details

Captain Moore has shown himself to be an inspiration to the country, something that the level of support and the funds he has raised clearly demonstrates. As was the case during the war, when his country needed him he has done his bit, not letting the ripe old age of 99 stand in his way. It is a way for the country to say thank you, once again for his service to us all.
