“He was an honourable person, who served his country magnificently. He is innocent of any crime against Ireland”. - Nell McCafferty, civil rights veteran, feminist author, journalist and frequent TV chat-show guest.

“In your past comments you have noted that you believe that Capt. Kelly was operating under what he believed were proper orders and you had no reason to doubt his integrity which would mean that the step to clear his name is very close. We request that your move to completely clear Capt. James Kelly should come sooner rather than later.

This action will help to close a sad chapter in the conflict that has been known as “The Troubles” for more than thirty years and is important to total reconciliation.

Thank you for your efforts.

Sincerely,

Ned McGinley,
[AOH National President, USA]
