Thanks to everyone who voted.

UPDATE:
PLEASE VOTE AGAIN! The memorial is through to the shortlist final. (Yes I am shouting!)
I would urge you to look at the following link to the Lottery Awards for Best Heritage Project, and vote for the award being applied for.
I have just received an email concerning the Armed Forces Memorial:
" Please VOTE NOW to help win this accolade
The Armed Forces Memorial, which forms part of the National Memorial Arboretum near Lichfield, has been short-listed for a prestigious award by the National Lottery. The Memorial, which received £2.4 million of Lottery money, commemorates the 16,000 service men and women who have been killed on duty or as a result of terrorism since the end of the Second World War.
Since the dedication of the Memorial in the presence of HM The Queen last October, the whole Arboretum has become a national focal point for remembrance. As a result, the Memorial is now competing against nine other short-listed entrants in the Best Heritage Project category. To get through to the finals of the Awards, the public needs to register their vote of support.
Votes can be registered at www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/awards by clicking through to the Best Heritage Project category or by phoning 0845 386 4459. Voting finishes on Friday 4 July.
Sir Henry Every Bt, spokesman for the campaign to secure the award for the Armed Forces Memorial, said:
“The National Lottery Awards are an annual search to find the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects. The aim is to celebrate and recognise the difference that those projects have made to people, places and communities across the UK.
“Winning the award will help us to further commemorate the brave service people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It will also help acknowledge the suffering of the families and loved ones left behind, including those affected by current conflicts.”
Please think of all those remembered on the memorial - they gave the ultimate sacrifice.
It only takes a moment to vote.
