An Honourable Mention

That the Parliament thanks all members of society who contribute to making Scotland a great place to live, from the medical staff, teachers and emergency responders to the refuse collectors, builders and business owners; considers that not receiving an honour from The Queen does not make a person less worthy of respect, praise and admiration for their achievements in improving the lives of the people around them, and applauds those who continue to make a difference, with or without approval or recognition from the "British Empire".
