Remember the Covenant.

The Royal British Legion is asking for everyone to sign their petition to MP's to support their manifesto.

Their manifesto (basically) is:

For Service Personnel and their families

* Improve and keep the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme under continual review

* Stop breaches of harmony guidelines (deployment rates) in order to reduce family separation and breakdown

For bereaved Armed Forces families

* Provide bereaved Armed Forces families with independent legal advice during inquests

* Introduce an Independent Advisory Committee on Military Deaths

For veterans and their families

* Make NHS priority treatment work for veterans with injuries caused by Service in the Armed Forces

* Tackle poverty among older veterans and widows

You can see more on their manifesto here:
