This was a major blow to our great town. Finally about 5 years ago circa 2016 a beautiful ceremony at 3rd Ward Park dedicated with a memorial stone listing all 15 Passaic boys.

I remember this horrific news very well while I was in advanced training at Ft. Chaffee AR. <br /><br />I knew Leroy W. Kranch on a casual basis, I have been unable to locate a complete list of the Lehigh Valley recruits that were on that fateful flight.<br /><br />I made a career out of the Army,retiring in 1983. November 8th 1961 was indeed as sad day for Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley. As I will never forget the horrors of war in two tours in Vietnam, I will never forget the men who perished on flight 201/8 RIP.

The world never got to know the full compassion and genius of him. It is a crime and shame that the military barely accepts responsibility and that no memorial is done at the site or even a marker. My and other families from the Lehigh Valley had to fight to even get flags placed on their graves. All of those in charge from the top down needed to be held highly accountable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495295138304264877.post-71263024183317159212017-08-16T18:32:48.967-04:002017-08-16T18:32:48.967-04:00Henrico county, not charles city county, location ...Henrico county, not charles city county, location of the crash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495295138304264877.post-48586963955573831952016-06-03T20:08:22.456-04:002016-06-03T20:08:22.456-04:00flew in that very same plane two months earlier to...flew in that very same plane two months earlier to basic at ft.jacksonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15699210083033056090noreply@blogger.com
