The memorial will stand as a fitting tribute to the 55,573 Bomber Command crew who lost their lives in the Second World War.
The Bomber Command Memorial has been designed by architect Liam O'Connor
The memorial has been built to be modern, yet classical, in Portland stone.
At its heart are the bronze sculptures of a Bomber Command aircrew.
Within the memorial, the space is open to the sky with an opening designed to allow light to fall directly onto sculptures of the aircrew.
The scale of the sculpture as a whole means that visitors will always see the profile of the sculpture against the sky above them, day and night - thus rendering that section of the sky powerfully symbolic for the memorial.

The Sueojangdae Command Post was first built in 1624 as a single-story building and rebuilt in 1751 as a two-story building and rebuilt again in 1836. Of the five command posts in the fortress, it is the only one remaining.
Namhansanseong served as emergency palace during times of internal unrest and external threat for the ruling Joseon dynasty. It also served as administrative center during peace times. It is located in the mountains 25 kilometers southeast of Seoul. It contained an emergency palace complex for the king, military buildings, and regular accommodations. It could house around 4,000 people.
Construction of Namhansanseong Fortress began in 1624 although earlier fortifications exist in the area. It was expanded over the next two centuries and eventually became the best-equipped fortress in Korea. Its perimeter wall has a length of 12.4 kilometers, features four main gates, sixteen secret entrances, and 125 sentry posts.

Admiralty House built in 1814-19 for the Admiral of the British Fleet stationed in Halifax. In 1904 it became the property of the Canadian Government when the Royal Navy turned over the Dockyard. During World War I it was used as a military hospital with the kitchen used as an operating room. All the windows were blown out from the Halifax Explosion in 1917. Later used as classrooms and an officers' mess it is now a museum of naval history. It also has at least 2 ghosts.

Kansas Cosmosphere
The fact that you are able to view the actual Apollo 13 Command Module Odyssey is due a remarkable twenty-year effort by the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center to save the spacecraft.
Following the conclusion of the Apollo 13 mission in April 1970, Odyssey was shipped back to Downey, California, to the North American Rockwell factory where it had been built. The purpose of this move was to conduct an intensive post-flight inspection on the spacecraft, which was normal procedure for all Apollo spacecraft returning from a mission. During these post-flight inspections, many components and systems were removed from the spacecraft to evaluate how they withstood the rigors of the mission. If problems were found, engineering changes would be made to future Command Modules. In addition, many parts were removed to reuse on other missions or were placed in storage as spare parts.
The unusual aspect of Odyssey's post-flight inspection was that virtually its entire interior was removed. Literally tens thousands of parts and systems were placed in government storage throughout the country or sent to the companies that had built them for evaluation. Even though the American public thought the Apollo 13 drama was one of NASA's finest hours, the space agency did not see it that way. They saw the mission as a failure and pressured the Smithsonian Institution -which owned the spacecraft - to send it out of the country. After being placed on short-term display at the Kennedy Space Center, and then in storage for many years, Odyssey was sent to an aviation museum in Paris, France, for exhibition. There it would remain, still gutted and lacking the dignity it so deserved, for more than 15 years.
In the early 1990s, the Cosmosphere began efforts to work with the Smithsonian to develop a plan to bring Apollo 13 back to the United States for restoration and public display. The political challenges in working with both the American and French governments to gain control of such an important historical artifact were immense. Finally in 1995, all political elements fell together and the Smithsonian formally requested that Odyssey be returned to the United States in order to conduct one of the most important and complex restoration projects ever attempted on a space artifact. The only group in the world with the expertise and capability to conduct the restoration was the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center.
The Cosmosphere located nearly 80,000 pieces from the spacecraft, Odyssey, in hundreds of warehouses and storage sites throughout the nation. This work was made all the more difficult because many of the pieces had been recycled after the Apollo 13 mission and flown on other Apollo spacecraft, which greatly added to the amount of paperwork and time involved. In an extraordinary example of thorough detective work, virtually every piece now in the spacecraft has been fully documented to have been inside Odyssey on the day of its launch.
Finally, in November 1995, Odyssey arrived back on American soil and in Hutchinson. Cosmosphere restoration craftsmen began their own two-year long saga to evaluate, disassemble and then completely restore the spacecraft back to its original, immediate post-flight condition. The restoration was completed in full view of hundreds of thousands of museum visitors.
In December 1997, Odyssey's restoration was formally concluded. The spacecraft is now one of the most complete flown Apollo spacecrafts in existence. Its restoration is widely considered one of the most important, complete and historically accurate restorations conducted on a major American space artifact.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in this year's 25-Hour Run in the Wiesbaden Kurpark. Americans were well represented among their German neighbors -- fielding one Sport Team -- the Road Hazards who managed 238 laps -- and four fun teams. The Wiesbaden military community's top fun team was Fast As the Wind putting in 300 laps to claim 46th place out of the 63 fun teams. Americans Chis (with 5th Signal Command) and Donielle (with Andrews Federal Credit Union) Wolfe both ran the entire 25 hours on their own -- Chris finishing 128 laps and Donielle 126 laps. A lap around the Kurpark is just short of a kilometer. Thanks to Autohaus Hollmann for sponsoring the American teams and the USO for their support throughout the event. The event raises money to promote athletics.
