Maltese and their cross (2)

Carmel Meilak is fully entitled to express his opinion about the George Cross and I fully respect it.

However, I wonder if it would have been different had he, as in my case, lost his 26-year-old mother, two-year-old brother, a few weeks old brother, himself and his sister being blinded for six months and having his grandmother butchered by shrapnel and spending the next 48 years of her life in great pain. All these were killed or maimed in the same incident at Mosta on March 21, 1942. Not to mention the hundreds of Maltese families who either lost their dear ones or had their relatives actually engaged directly in the war or my dear father Joseph coming back from work at the Dockyard to find the tragedy mentioned above.

Can Mr Meilak tell me whether these people deserve to be commemorated on the Maltese flag?
