Erskine Week, Supporting Veterans
The motion
That the Parliament supports Erskine Week, from 1 to 8 June 2009, organised by Erskine, the charity that cares for ex-servicemen and women throughout Scotland; congratulates all those who are taking part to raise money for the charity; notes that Erskine Week aims to get people of all ages involved to raise awareness and funds to help Erskine provide the very high standards of care that Scotland’s veterans so eminently deserve; offers congratulations to Colonel Martin Gibson, the outgoing chief executive of Erskine, who retires on 8 June, for all his hard work and dedication; and wishes him well in all his future endeavours; wishes to ensure that the care, treatment and rehabilitation of ex-servicemen and women is given the highest priority, and further notes that the world would be a very different place without the dedication and courage of veterans, such as those in the care of Erskine Home in West Renfrewshire.
