New monument honors members of missing flight
COLUMBIA FALLS On a sunny Saturday, under a bright blue sky, a crowd that included families, military members and veterans gathered at Worcester Wreath Co.’s balsam tip land to honor their fallen, specifically those from Flying Tiger Line Flight 739.
The plane, destined for Vietnam on a secret mission, mysteriously disappeared after taking off March 16, 1962. On board were 93 U.S. Army members, 11 crew members and three South Vietnamese soldiers who were never heard from again.
Because of the circumstances of the mission, including the fact that it occurred outside a combat zone, the names of those on board were never added to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., explained Sean Sullivan, a spokesman for Wreaths Across America (WAA).
Â
Saturday was Wreaths Across America Day when about 2.2 million wreaths delivered by more than 600 semi trucks were laid on veteransâ graves at over 2,100 sites across the nation including Arlington National Cemetery. The observance designated by Congress seeks to cover all veteransâ grave markers with a Christmas wreath, remembering them, honoring them and teaching about their lives.
In Rusk County, families and volunteers did their part in laying 576 wreaths at multiple sites across Rusk County. This is the third year Wreaths Across America has been observed in Ingram and the first year in Ladysmith.
The wreath laying includes 460 of the 817 recorded veteransâ headstones at Riverside Cemetery in Ladysmith, all 60 veteransâ headstones at Ingram Village Cemetery, three at South Lawrence Cemetery and a handful of personal sites in Sheldon, Bruce and Jump River.
