MINISTRY OF DEFENCE RECOGNITION FOR BRAVERY IN AFGHANISTAN

Early day motion 2213, tabled 10 October 2011 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 23 members.

That this House notes the bravery and distinguished service undertaken by the armed forces from all across the UK, particularly in recent years in Afghanistan; is acutely aware of the heroism that has been demonstrated time and time again by British men and women serving there; acknowledges that those who paid the supreme sacrifice included Ranger Aaron McCormick, Ranger David Dalzell and Lance Corporal Stephen McKee from Northern Ireland; and calls on the Ministry of Defence to review the system whereby such bravery is acknowledged in order that relatives of the deceased know that the nation cherishes them and will not forget their sacrifice.
