Rejected petition Give bravery medals to all front line workers

To get all NHS workers & anyone who works along side the NHS, eg carers, responders, police, paramedics etc during this corona virus pandemic a MEDAL, a BRAVERY MEDAL. RECOGNISE WHAT THESE FRONT LINE WORKERS HAVE DONE

More details

Because i believe the front line workers are fighting a war against an invisible enemy and the front line workers are the soldiers in this war and when a soldier goes to war he gets a medal of recognition for what he/she has done, so i believe anyone who has fought in this war (coronavirus) deserves to be honoured with a bravery medal.
