Stratton Ridge Air Force Memorial Act
This bill authorizes the Forest Service to relocate a memorial in North Carolina honoring the nine Air Force crew members who lost their lives in an airplane crash in the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests during a training mission on August 31, 1982, if the owner of the private land where the memorial is currently located consents. The Forest Service may relocate the memorial to an appropriate site at the Stratton Ridge rest area located at mile marker 2 on the Cherohala Skyway in Graham County, North Carolina, in the Nantahala National Forest. The site must be approved by (1) the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and (2) the Federal Highway Administration if the site is located adjacent to a federal-aid highway.
