Work on the Bomber Command Memorial will begin in central London next month. Donations from two high profile donors put the effort near its monetary goal.
The memorial is to honor the 55,573 RAF airmen who died defending the island.
It is located in Green Park and scheduled for completion around May of 2012. So far, some 5.6 million pounds of the $6 million goal have been raised, thanks to the generous donations of John Candwek and Lord Ashcroft.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
