Norwegains veterans returned their operational service medals in front of the Norwegian parliament (Stortinget) in Oslo today.

The veterans from both UN and NATO missions feel that they do not get the help and support they are entitled to when suffering from both physical and mental trauma due to their service.

60-70 veterans were present, some 30 more had to cancel because they didn´t feel fit enough to be present. Some veterans had travelled more then 1000km to present in Oslo.

Giving back a service medal is an immensely symbolic gesture - this is such an important story, thank you for sharing it with us.
