2025 Chairman's Report
On behalf of the 95th Bomb Group Heritage Assoclatlon
What an extraordinarytwelve months it has beenl The pastyear h8s seen tremendous progress behind
the scenes. with m8ny positive developments and additions that continue to strengthen our association
and its mission.
Duringthe winter of 2024-2025, planning began in earnest for our reunion at the Red Feather Club {RFCI.
The event was scheduled to coincide with the 80th Anniversary ofvictory in Europe-an occasion that
truly underscored the enduringfriendship between the United Kingdom and the United States. That same
spirit of camaraderie, first forged in wartime. remains as strongas evertoday.
It was deeply rewardingto welcome 85 participants to this ye8r's reunion. including many newfaces.
Their pr8sence was a reassuring sign that the legacy of the 95th Bomb Group will continue to be honoured
and remembered byfuture generations. Each attendee made a personal pilgrimage to pay tribute to the
men of the 95th, ensuringtheir courage and sacrifice are neverforgotten.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in the reunion. Special appreciation
goes to the Memorials Foundation fortheir continued support. and to our dedicated Committee
members. volunteers. and the entire team atthe Red Feather Club for makingthe event such a success. It
was, once again, a wonderful gathering at Station 119.
The museum has continued to evolve overthe pastyear. with new acquisitions-both purchased and
donated-enhancing our displays. Two projects stand out in particular:
The Eugene Wood Collectlon. now displayed in a purpose-built cabinet that seTves as a lasting
tribute to his sacrifice.
The newly constructed Nlssen hut. which houses our dedicated exhibit honouringthe
Groundcrewwho served at Station 119.
Both exhibits were off icially opened duringthe reunion byfamily members of those commemorated.
adding a deeply personal and meaningful touch to the occasion.
Our calendar of events thisyear has been both busy and successful. We hosted several sold-out dances
featLFring outstandingguest bands and once again partnered with the 96th Bomb Group for a joint event,
with proceeds shared to benefit both museums.
Alongside our open days. we have seen a steady increase in visits from family members and active
service groups-particularlyfrom the 95th Wing stationed at RAF Mildenhall. We have also welcomed
multiple tour groups from the United States, with more already scheduled forthe coming fflonths. While
we always strive to accommodate 811visil requests. this commitment requires a great deal of our
volunteers, time and effort.
As ever. none of our achievements thisyear would have been possible without our loyal and hardworking
volunteers. From event organisation and visitor support to ongoing maintenance and daily operations,
their dedication ensures the continued success of the 95th Bomb Group Heritage Association. On behalf
of the Committee, l extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to each and every one ofyou.
