var str = 'The Memorial Garden contains hundreds of individual memorials to specific sub-units and plane crews that comprised the Eighth Air Force that fought in World War II. Most memorials honor fallen comrades. Included in the Garden is a poignant memorial to the children of the British town of Freckleton who died in a B-24 crash in an testing accident; thirty-eight of those killed were five-year old children who were in the school hit by the plane. The reflecting pool honors, Eighth Air Force veteran Ben Love of Texas. There is also a replica of the headstone for Medal of Honor Recipient, James Doolittle as well as the original marker that rested at Arlington National Cemetery. Within the Garden stands the Wall of Valor with individual plaques engraved with the names of those who served and there is the Chapel of the Fallen Angels to honor all those who gave their lives.';
