They believe the other 33 men involved in the siege should also be honoured.
The family of Jadotville Commandant Pat Quinlan is refusing, for the third time, to accept a Distinguished Service Medal on his behalf.
His son former Commandant Leo Quinlan, believes his father would never accept an award for himself until the men received their medals first.
156 Irish troops from Custume Barracks in Athlone, who were acting as peacekeepers in the Congo in 1961, resisted repeated attacks from a force of 5,000 but were branded as cowards due to misinformation.
Despite various campaigns over the years, Commandent Leo Quinlan says the 33 men his dad recommended for bravery awards still have not been honoured:
