25th Anniversary Gander Crash

[Monsoon65]

I remember this. I was at DLI going thru the German Language course and a classmate was a Captain in the 101st. He was reading thru the list of those that were killed and was saying, "I know him, I know him". His driver was one that was killed.

When I was rotating back home in 2005, we stopped at Gander. Several people I spoke with mentioned this crash and said there's a very nice memorial that's at the site.

RIP.

On the morning of December 12, 1985 I wasn't thinking about joining the army, I was probably playing with my toys or still sleeping, I had no idea what happened to 256 people that terrible day in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada.

On the morning of December 12, 1998 while I was serving in B 3/502 Inf. I had the honor of participating in the Gander memorial and later that same day I had the privilage of having dinner with some of the victims families.

I will never forget that day and I will never forget December 12, 1985.

Rest in peace brothers.
Strike and kill.
