I'm honored to announce the dedication of a memorial for Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the crash - December 29, 2022!! The memorial picture is attached and it will sit on a 12" high base. It will be located on a grassy median of Curtiss Parkway in Miami Springs, Fl. just across from the driving range of the Miami Springs Country Club! A picture of the location area is attached.
It will be a very special dedication ceremony to honor the 101 souls that perished and the 75 survivors whose lives were greatly impacted by the crash. We are hoping to confirm a 1:00 PM dedication ceremony shortly and will confirm that in a future post.
We are working very hard to have everything in place. We have raised the money for the memorial and the deposit was paid. But we still need to raise the rest of the money needed for the installation and the concrete base. If you have already donated we thank you so very much!
