Loading... Please wait...The purpose of the badge, which was introduced by the MOD in 2004, is to
recognise all military service, not just operational or campaign service. Unlike a
commemorative award such as a medal the HM Armed Forces Veterans Badge is
a “survivors’ badge”, that is intended to generate a sense of identity amongst all
Armed Forces veterans living in our communities. Veterans are advised and
encouraged to wear it with civilian attire in public whenever they choose as this
serves to visibly raise awareness of the number and varying ages of veterans living
in the community.
