65th Anniversary Of The Normandy Landings (EDM1147)

65th Anniversary Of The Normandy Landings

EDM number 1147 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 23/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Veterans.

That this House notes that 6 June 2009 will mark the 65th anniversary of the Normandy landings; recognises the huge sacrifice made by allied troops on D-Day in order to re-capture mainland Europe; pays tribute to all those who served in the armed forces during this period and the significance of commemorating this anniversary; further notes that estimates show there will be 500 UK veterans fit enough to make the trip, with the 65th anniversary being the last chance for many of them to commemorate the sacrifices made on this day; commends the fundraising activities organised to pay for the trip; and urges the UK Government to do all it can to provide financial support and advice to those wishing to make the trip.

This motion has been signed by a total of 74 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
