QJM. your 'missus' didn't get it, so what, what did she miss out on, a totally meaningless lump of cupro-nickel.
Raise deabte ? if you have served in a capacity deserving recognition, it is probably already recognised, eg LS&GCM, campaign, meritorious etc, if you don't have those, there may not be a lot worth recognising.
Truce ? It's a debate, and in my opinion your side of the debate is not standing up well. All you wish to do is give some 'medal' or 'badge' to every single ex service person.
Sorry mate, but it's a bad idea.
