EDM 392: Remembering Channing Day

That this House remembers the 12 year anniversary of the passing of Corporal Channing Day, who was killed alongside her colleague Corporal O'Connor en route to undertake low level training with the Afghan Local Police, in the village of Char Kutsa; notes that Corporal Day was born in Swindon and brought up in Comber, Newtownards that lies within the constituency of Strangford and that she played football for Northern Ireland and was also an NI Gymnastics pairs champion; highlights the incredible bravery displayed by our armed forces and that the risk they take on a daily basis should never be undervalued; and sends deepest sympathies to Corporal Day's parents, Leslie and Rosemary, her sisters Lauren and Laken and her brother Aaron and that she and her dedication to the Army Regiment she was posted to shall not be forgotten.
