“To all of our British brothers and sisters in arms who are here tonight – I want to thank every single one of you for making us all feel so welcome in your home country, and for all you do to contribute to this very special relationship that exists between us – both in the UK, and everywhere around the world that we train and operate together.”

Chargé d’Affaires Reeker Thanksgiving Speech at St. Paul’s Cathedral
“Some 43 years on, one of the most touching moments since the Secretary of State dispatched me to lead the U.S. Mission to the United Kingdom was on September 11, when Her Majesty The Queen asked that our national anthem be played during the Changing of the Guard at Windsor Castle, to mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Joined by Embassy colleagues, I took the salute as the band played the Star Spangled Banner in remembrance of the thousands who lost their lives on that fateful day in 2001 and in the era of fear and anger since. This rare and moving tribute was a visible–and audible–reminder of our friendship, of how our two countries stand side-by-side through our most difficult challenges. “

Remarks by Chargé d’Affaires a.i. Reeker at the Remembrance Day Memorial Commemoration at Brookwood American Cemetery
“That’s why every year, at this time, we make the same promise – Americans and Brits alike. The promise to remember those who died serving under our flags. To remember with pride, what they did for our countries. Their service and the sheer depths of their sacrifices, and what they, their families, their communities, their nations – lost when their lives were cut tragically short.”
