I'm so pleased you were able to visit Madingley and pay your respects - it is indeed a beautiful and sombre place which I try to visit on every trip to the UK.

In May this year I copied the dedication written on the ceiling of the Chapel;

"In proud and grateful memory of those men of the United States Army Airforce, who from these friendly Isles flew their final flight and met their God, they knew not the hour, the day, nor the manner of their passing, when far from home they were called to join that heroic band of Airmen who had gone before - May They Rest in Peace".

May we remain forever grateful and respectful of all who gave their lives for our freedom - We will never forget - God Bless Them All.
