Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that 11 November is known as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day to commemorate those who lost their lives during World War I;
2) further notes that this day signifies the end of the First World War as the guns on the Western Front fell silent at 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 all those who have lost family and friends in armed conflict;
4) further recognises the significance of the poppy emblem - symbolic not only 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 work of the SA Legion, that raised funds to assist in the welfare of all men and women who took up arms in battles such as the Korean War, Border War and internal conflict at the height of the apartheid regime; and
6) appreciates the SA Legion's continued efforts in honour of all those who fought selflessly and died valiantly in defence of our country.
Agreed to.
