#2 The Ministry of Defense said Arctic veterans were awarded the Atlantic Star medal, which also went to sailors serving on trans-Atlantic convoys during the war.

But the protesters want a separate medal - the Arctic Star. They said time was running out for the government to honor the estimated 3,000 surviving Arctic veterans.


I guess they have one medal and want a 2nd.
