Thank Wootton Bassett-e petition

[spike7451]

The people of Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire turn out constantly and selflessly to honour the servicemen and women who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan and should be recognised by the Government for this meaningful act. It would be nice to see some sort of meaningful recognition and not just a line spoken in Parliament. A lot of people in the country are proud of what the town is doing and would like to see the Government recognise it too.

I have often thought this myself about the people lining the streets when I see it on the news, therefore they also deserve our admiration for the time they give in respect of our fallen.

Have to admit I was in WB when the 5 lads came back just before Xmas and stood proudly alongside the people of Bassett and was taken aback by people of all ages and all walks of life who stood in silence as the cars drove through the town, I for one would like to say THANK YOU to everyone of them...

[OneTimeSooty]

Signed and will give it as much publicity in the safer sandpit as I can.

Drove through Wootton Bassett when the Rifles guys came back, just as everyone was starting to come together on the streets. The looks on peoples faces didn't say they were bored or doing it out of necessitity, they genuinely want to show their respect. They deserve to be recognised.

Signed, Satis.

I served in SA at time when one of their own was KIA in Afghan and repatriated via Lye. The Mayor of Wootton Bassett forwarded CCTV footage of the cortege driving throughout the town showing the townsfolk showing their respect. The family were not only moved, but exceptionally grateful that their son's sacrifice was recognised by the public. Petition signed!
