![The Victoria Cross
is mostly given
to heroes of the moment
How much courage
does it take to carry a comrade
through fire on your back
How much courage
does it take to carry a country
seventy years
How much to carry
how many countries more
Let's give a VC this time
to a hero of a lifetime](https://i0.wp.com/www.neilmeili.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Long-Lived-the-Queen.jpg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1)
