Support for a permanent memorial dedicated to the nurses who have delivered care on fields of conflict, in service of their country
- Target:
- The Government of the United Kingdom
- Region:
- United Kingdom
This petition is for anyone who wants to show their support for nurses who have delivered care on fields of conflict, in service of their country. There is currently no dedicated memorial to the service of all nursing staff in the United Kingdom.
We are therefore calling on the Government of the United Kingdom to back the RCN’s campaign for a national monument, recognising the service of nursing staff in conflict zones.
From the work of Florence Nightingale on the Crimean battlefields to the modern day service in Afghanistan, nurses have served courageously in the heat of battle for generations.
More than 2,000 nurses gave their lives during the two world wars.
We believe it is now time for this unique service by nurses to be recognised.
We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of the United Kingdom to support the campaign, led by the Royal College of Nursing, for a national memorial recognising the remarkable service of nursing staff in conflict zones
We wish to show our appreciation for nurses who have delivered care on fields of conflict, in service of their country.
We believe there should be a dedicated national memorial, befitting of the remarkable sacrifice that thousands of nurses have made for their country.
You can further help this campaign by sponsoring it
