To honour our second, third and fourth tour Afganistan Veterans: Did you know that our forces personnel only receive one medal for their first Tour of Afganistan Some veterans have seen two, three or four tours with a General Campaign Star or General Campaign Medal for their first tour only. These military men and women have placed their lives in grave danger during each deployment to AFGANISTAN. Recognition should be a Silver number 2, 3 or 4 added to their first "STAR or MEDAL Ribbons" and/or a "COMBAT BADGE" added to their uniform. The United Nations issues the appropriate numeral for tours of duty. Canada should do the same. We the undersigned feel this CAN be resolved immediately by our politicians.

My brother is on his 3rd tour and gets nothing extra. It is a absolute slap in the face to these heroes. Fix this now.

About time we showed some proper respect to our guys and gals overseas. They put everything on the line for us.

Totally agree. 4 tours is a huge sacrifice and it needs to be recognized on the uniform.

They go back time after time and their service is just glossed over. Change the policy already.

If the UN can do it so can we. No excuse for ignoring the multiple tours these veterans have done.

These brave people deserve way more than just a pat on the back. Give them the medals they earned!!
