On December 12,1985, an Arrow Air DC-8 crashed at Gander, Newfoundland. 256 people lost their lives, including 248 members of the United States Army's 101st Airborne Division and 8 crew members. "The Silent Witness" is a memorial erected at the crash site in honor of the crash victims. Personnel of the 9 Wing Canadian Forces Base Gander erected a plaque to commemorate those who died.

Memorial inscriptions were transcribed by FRANK KING, August 1999. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there may be typographical errors.
