Not something you normally receive, but it was a funny sort of day.(I can never get the hang of Fridays!)
The package contained an official apology on behalf of the Royal Air Force for the unacceptable treatment I received during mytime in the Royal Air Force. (long story but this is not the place to tell it -see my earler posts which explain what happened)
This was part of Lord Etherton’s review into the ban on LGBT people serving prior to 2000.
The package contained not only the letter from the ACM, but also a replacement beret, an official armed forces veterans LGBT badge with the 'Etherton Ribbon’ and a wee note from the Prime Minister.
This was at the same time as I was reading about the negative issues that the United States LGBT service personnel are going through.
Those who know me know that I am truly proud to have served eleven years in the Royal Air Force as a nurse and part of PMRAFNS, and I will wear my badge with pride.
Per ardua ad astra
