Paragraph 2
Captain Moore completed his 100
on Thursday. He vowed he would not stop walking as
as people are still donating. Over half a million people have signed a
for the UK government to award a
to Captain Moore. He would then become Sir Tom Moore. The soon-to-be centenarian was overwhelmed by the public
to his efforts. He said: "I appreciate it because the
for which we're donating, [the NHS,] is so
." The UK's "Independent" newspaper commended Captain Tom's
but said the government should be funding the NHS. It wrote: "In the midst of
times, stories like these bring lightness. Yet such
is a damning reflection on the state of our NHS."
