The Chairman and Trustee's of the AANM Charity express their sincere thanks to all our donors whose generosity has made possible the creation of this Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum. It has also enabled a Legacy Agreement to be made with the NMA for the maintainence and insurance covering it's lifetime. We are therefore closing off any further donations as the remaining monies are just sufficient to complete our administrative duties and maintain the website. (See FUNDING page)
