Harlem volunteers honored for airmen's memorial

The members of the community of Harlem who have been paying tribute for more than 30 years to 13 airmen who died in a training were commemorated recently by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

The Harlem Airmen Memorial Committee created a memorial at Harlem's Centennial Park to the airmen who died Nov. 30, 1992, and recently dedicated a bridge in their honor at the park as well.

Daughters of the American Revolution presented the committee, and the community, its Excellence in Historic Preservation Medal and certificates honoring them for their work.

"This award will hang in city hall for years to come, and will be a reminder of the sacrifice made by those 13 boys who perished that fateful plane crash on that November 30 evening in 1992, as well as the committee and community who paid tribute to them and their families.
