Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House - 1) notes that this day is known as Remembrance Day, to commemorate those who died during World War I;
2) further notes that this day signifies the official end of the First World War on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918;
3) recognises the importance of Poppy Day, as it is also known, not only to the nations of the Commonwealth, but also to those who have lost families and friends in armed conflict;
4) further recognises the significance of the poppy emblem - symbolic not only as an indication of the blood that was spilt, but as the flower that covered the scarred landscape of war-torn Europe in the aftermath of the War;
5) acknowledges the South African soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the name of our country; and
(6) honours the memory of all those who selflessly fought and valiantly died in the Great War.
Agreed to.
