60th Anniversary Of The Special Air Service Regiment

EDM number 508 in 2001-02, proposed by Paul Keetch on 03/12/2001.

That this House pays tribute to the Special Air Service Regiment on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of its first operation in December 1941; notes with admiration that the concept of the SAS was developed by Captain David Stirling; salutes those who have served in the SAS over the past six decades and registers its deep appreciation for their many acts of bravery in missions around the world, recognising that many lost their lives in the process; and gives its heartfelt thanks to current members of the SAS as they uphold the proud traditions which have made it the world's premier special forces team.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
