Stratton Ridge Air Force Memorial Act

This bill would authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to relocate a memorial honoring nine Air Force crew members who died in a training mission crash on August 31, 1982, in North Carolina. The memorial currently sits on private land and would be moved to the Stratton Ridge rest area in the Nantahala National Forest in Graham County, North Carolina, which is closer to the actual crash site and more accessible to the public. The bill specifies that no federal taxpayer dollars would be used for the relocation, installation, or maintenance of the memorial. Instead, the entity requesting the relocation would be responsible for all associated costs, including processing the application, obtaining the special use authorization from the Forest Service, and maintaining the memorial once installed.
