We recognise the value that Military Families, Regular, Reserve Soldiers and Veterans contribute to our business and our country.
The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty.
Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces.
In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families.
Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services.
This is a promise to those who proudly protect our nation, who do so with honour, courage, and commitment. It is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.
They deserve our respect, support, and fair treatment,
