N2M - Special Event commemorating Capt. Emilio Carranza

The Carranza Memorial is a significant landmark located in Wharton State Forest, New Jersey, honoring the legacy of Captain Emilio Carranza, a noted Mexican aviator. On July 12, 1928, Captain Carranza tragically crashed while on a goodwill flight from New York City to Mexico City, as part of a mission to foster goodwill between the United States and Mexico.

On Saturday July 13th, 2024 Mount Holly Post #11 of the American Legion will host a memorial service at 1300 EDT July 13, 2024 at the crash site. Each year his untimely death is honored by this ceremony. Dignitaries from both the US and Mexico are typically present to preside over the event.

The Burlington County Radio Club (www.k2td-bcrc.org) will operate N2M from July 7, 2024 to July 13, 2024.
