100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum receives poignant Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service

Volunteers at the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, Thorpe Abbotts, Norfolk, England, officially received the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, Sept. 8, 2022. Sadly, it was the same day Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away. The poignant and bittersweet award, signed by the Queen, is the highest award given to volunteer groups across the United Kingdom and only two in Norfolk received the award as part of the Platinum Jubilee and in recognition of extraordinary service to the community. The 100th Air Refueling Wing’s heritage comes from the 100th Bomb Group and the museum is dedicated to Airmen of the Eighth Air Force during World War II, and leadership from Royal Air Force Mildenhall attended the event which honored the volunteers.
