That this House congratulates the Mark Wright Project on winning the Royal British Legion's National Community Group prize at the recent Friends of the Forces Awards; commends the organisation for its dedication to men and women from all branches of the armed forces in addressing post-conflict issues, providing hands-on, active and practical support to help ease their transition to civilian life; believes that the organisation is a fitting tribute to Corporal Mark Wright, a paratrooper with the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment, who died aged 27 whilst serving in Helmand province; notes that this award recognises the huge achievement made by all involved with the Mark Wright Project in the short time since it started in July 2009; hopes that the Mark Wright Project will endeavour to continue this good work; and offers its staff and supporters its gratitude and best wishes.
