See the list of Army awards on the News & Features PageThe Military Covenant
We read about it in our newspapers, we hear about it on radio, see pundits pontificating on television about it, our generals and politicians say that it is in breach (or not) and the Royal British Legion have launched a campaign in support of it. All servicemen acknowledge that it exists and have an idea about it and what it means, but do the population at large including many of our political masters and public servants also acknowledge that it exists, and in writing? Quite simply, do they know what the Military Covenant really is? See the News & features page for the articleVeteran's Badge
For those of us who are no longer in the medal stakes - have you claimed your Veteran's Badge? If not go here!Beneficiaries-
will be those former Airborne members who are in business, governmental or civil positions of influence, and to those who have retired, for the benefit of Airborne Forces and to preserve it's heritage.
The Network-
does not replace or seek to duplicate any of the existing ‘official’ networks e .g the PRA, but it aims to draw in many with whom RHQ has lost touch, whilst streamlining communications with those still 'close' to the Airborne family.
