That the Parliament congratulates Peter Bloomfield on receiving the Chief Executive's Award at the Veterans Scotland Armed Forces Champion Gathering in Stirling in recognition of his work supporting the Erskine Veterans' Activity Centre in Forres, Moray; notes that Mr Bloomfield is Moray Council's Armed Forces champion and is himself a veteran, having served in the Royal Air Force; recognises the outstanding work carried out by Erskine in Forres to support veterans and their families, and welcomes what it sees as evidence of the social contract between the Armed Forces and their country, which, it believes, reflects the collective responsibility of people in Scotland to support veterans who have put themselves at risk, both physically and mentally, on their behalf.
