Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 November 2011. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Armed Forces Personnel.
Armed Forces Personnel
My hon. Friend is absolutely right to begin his speech by recognising Remembrance day. All hon. Members will wear poppies tomorrow and on the weekend to pay tribute to those who have been either killed or injured in the wars. However, will he join me in condemning a small but naive group among the younger generation who choose to desecrate, damage and rob war memorials, which shows a growing distance between a younger generation and a generation who made the huge sacrifices for the very freedoms that we enjoy today?
