Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Greg Pope (Labour), on Wednesday, 14 January 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 68 members in total.
BOMBER COMMAND MEMORIAL
That this House supports fully the campaign to build a permanent memorial to the sacrifice and courage of the men who served in the Bomber Command during the Second World War; recalls that 55,573 men gave their lives serving in Bomber Command, almost half of the total who served; recognises that this was a higher proportion than in any other branch of the armed forces; believes that the freedoms which are enjoyed in the UK today are their legacy; and further believes that those men should now be honoured with a permanent memorial.
