100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum receives poignant Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service
Long-time volunteers at the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, along with Royal Air Force Mildenhall leadership and spouses, proudly show off their Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, presented by The Lady Dannatt, center, MBE, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk, at Thorpe Abbotts, Norfolk, England, Sept. 8, 2022. The award, signed by the Queen, is the highest award given to volunteer groups across the United Kingdom, and became poignant and bittersweet as it was presented on the day Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away. Only two volunteer groups 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 dates back to the 100th Bomb Group and the museum is dedicated to Airmen of the Eighth Air Force who served during World War II.
