So you get medals just for being there and not for actually doing anything?

Well I imagine it's a record of Service. You go somewhere, you put yourself in harms way and you get a recognition of having done so. OK the Jubilee ones might not be 'in harms way' but you're probably expected to jump in front of a bullet to save the Queen or something.............. where as I would just run away fast :)
