The reception was part of the final remembrance ceremony at Task Force 3-502nd Memorial Park. Dedicated to 248 Soldiers – all of whom were attached or assigned to 3rd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, “Strike and Kill,” 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, and eight crewmembers, who died in a Dec. 12, 1985, airplane crash in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada.
