I am delighted to be able to report that Dame Vera Lynn has given us her whole-hearted support in our campaign to be given permission to wear the Pingat Jasa Malaysia.
I was very moved as I listened to her give me the support to pass on to you.
She spoke of her support for those who served in Malaysia, her support for the PJM itself, and her support for our campaign to receive formal permission to wear our medal. When she spoke, she did not say to me "the medal". She said "your medal". You see, she knows ... she understands what this is all about. She's a lovely lady with an enduring sense of what service and loyalty is all about. She remembers - she doesn't forget. Those who are withholding formal permission for us and next of kin to wear the PJM should take note and learn what integrity is all about from our very own Forces' Sweetheart.
Her words are set out on our Home Page at http://www.fight4thepjm.org/
