Closed petition Stolen Valour - Make wearing medals you are not entitled a criminal offence
The Government should make wearing campaign and service medals people are not entitled to a criminal offence, with fines and custodial sentences, to stop this abhorrent practice. Offenders should be registered and face increased penalties for repeat offences.
More details
As a veteran of this country, I am shocked to see people wearing medals and decorations which they are not entitled to and impersonating fellow veterans. We believe these people are mocking our war dead by wearing them and insulting our Queen and country.
