So if they don't give us a medal (which was something actually asked for by members), what should be given as a recognition of service?

they already get a medal....a real one that u can wear, not a trinket.....at 15 yrs, plus an add on every five years
people that are in it for medals always worry me.......
Ah yes, the same medal I get for going to work every day, and doing no more than what I am paid to do.
How does the work that I do as a paid employee, equate to that of a volunteer, doing a lot more, with no pay ?
And while the bulk of us do not join a volunteer service to be publicly recognised, is it really so bad when the hierarchy tries to recognise the dedicated service its troops give it, through something like a medal?
