This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Give Veterans a month, why do veterans only get three days a year?
Certain groups have a whole month set aside, so that we have to listen too and appreciate them.
Parliament should legislate and give veterans a whole month and treat them with the respect they deserve.
We owe the freedoms we enjoy to armed forces veterans.
More details
Veterans get November 11th, Remembrance Sunday and armed forces day, this is unacceptable!
The government should give veterans a whole month to be remembered and not just three days a year. The government should bring in a month, I suggest November, and call it Veterans month, the same month in the USA.
If the government is not prepared to do this then other then other groups should be given just one day, I believe the current arrangement is a form of indirect disclination.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are want to see changes to how veterans are celebrated, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, we could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide additional funding for remembrance activities in November, if that's what you want to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
