Please sign the Petition
Firstly I am sorry if this is the wrong place for this Rich/ maybe you could move it if it is?
Post subject: Sign the Petition for all to have RAMP CEROMONIES
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Change the
rules regarding Ramp Ceremonies for HM Forces Personnel killed
by an act of terror, while in the Service of Her Majesty the
Queen
The bodies of the soldiers Murdered in Northern Ireland were
flown home without ceremony. This has angered members of HM
Forces: "British troops have spoken of their anger following
the disclosure that the bodies of the two soldiers murdered by
dissident republicans were shipped back to the UK as freight."
"We have been told that the soldiers were not allowed to have a
ramp service because of political reasons. We were told the
Government didn't want anything that would look like the
Troubles had restarted.
"As far as we are concerned these soldiers were shot dead in
uniform by terrorists and they should be treated in exactly the
same way as if they were killed in Afghanistan. To send their
bodies back to the UK as freight is outrageous."
When a person joins any branch of HM Forces they are
effectively on duty 24/7/365.
The Government are asked to review the crass rules that allowed
this to happen.
The Government are further requested to amend the rules on Ramp
Ceremonies.
