The trail that leads to the
summit of Sharp Top Mountain is one of the most traveled
within the Blue Ridge Park system. Thousands of hikers each
year walk unknowingly within a few hundred yards of the
wreckage of a mighty B25 Bomber where five brave U.S. Airmen
died a fiery death in 1943.
NO MARKER or
MEMORIAL of any kind exists to honor these
heroes! "Officially" they
remain forgotten.
Please help us raise awareness of this
missing part of Virginia's history. We need to make local,
State, and Federal officials aware of the need to mark this
place of honor. A small memorial or plaque is little payment
for such total sacrifice!
Please make others aware of this need
by directing them to this web site. We welcome your interest
and support!
Show your support by
signing our guest book. We will make certain the appropriate
officials see your comments and
concerns.
