A memorial marker for U.S. Army Sgt. Paul Fuller with a newly placed flag behind it at the Gander Memorial Tree Park, during a memorial ceremony at Fort Campbell, Ky. on Dec. 12, 2016. The ceremony honored the 248, 3rd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment Soldiers who lost their lives in a tragic plane crash in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada on Dec. 12, 1985. The Soldiers were returning from a six-month peacekeeping mission in the Sinai Peninsula. The ceremony marked the 31st anniversary of this tragedy. The memorial markers and trees in the park were donated by the people of Canada to honor the loss of the 248 personnel in Gander. There are 248 Canadian Sugar Maple trees in the park with individual markers to serve as a living reminder for each one of the personnel who were lost in the plane crash.
