Dear All, I know that there may be the usual few members of this list who will get upset because this is in their in-box and it is not 'Occupational Health". However, many of us are serving or ex-forces, and even those who are not owe a debt of honour and gratitude to those who have given "their tomorrows for our today". Furthermore, I think even the most cynical individuals who don't agree with the armed forces must agree with the basic sentiment and rationale of placing a further Bank Holiday (and particularly such a poignant Bank Holiday) at this point of the year. So!! ...please send this email to as many people as possible... http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/remembermonday/ Number 10 Downing Street has approved a petition that was launched requesting a new public holiday falling on the Monday after Remembrance Sunday in November each year. To be known as the National Remembrance Holiday, it's purpose is threefold: 1. To emphasise the remembrance of those servicemen and women who have given, and continue to give, their lives for Britain 2. To remind people of the importance of protecting our Nation and what it stands for 3. To break that 3 month period between the August Public Holiday and Christmas when there are currently no long weekends, especially as the UK has fewer public holidays than most European Countries. If you are in agreement, please sign up to the petition - it only takes a few moments - and it would be great if you were minded to forward the link to other people as well. If you are not interested, just hit the delete key and I'm sorry to have troubled you. Regards, Bob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
