This crash has long lived in stories and memories in rural Marshall County. Now, the soldiers who were killed in that crash are being honored. The Marshall County Fiscal Court bought a monument honoring the crew and unveiled it near the crash, close to the Soldier Creek Church.

The four-engine heavy bomber crashed about 1 a.m. The plane took off from Kirtland Airfield in Albuquerque, N.M., and refueled in Nashville before flying into Western Kentucky, and into a severe thunderstorm, debris being scattered over 2 miles along Ky US 80.

One sole survivor, CPL Irving A. Elias from New York City.

Arnold A. Rushton, Flight Officer James R. Schetzsle and 2nd Lt. Richard O. Snow — were taken to then Camp Campbell, now Fort Campbell on the Kentucky-Tennessee line.
