It is with great Pride That Mount Holly Post #11 of The American Legion, Department of New Jersey announces the 87th Annual Captain Emilio Carranza Memorial Service. The Service will be conducted at 1:00 P.M. on Saturday July 11th, 2015 at the Emilio Carranza Memorial Park located on Carranza Road in Shamong, NJ.
Six years ago J&J Video Productions have completed their documentary film titled “FLYING WITH EMILIO”. “Flying With Emilio” is a forty-seven minute documentary that takes you to a small community in New Jersey, where every year tribute is paid to a virtually almost forgotten Mexican Aviation Hero. The DVD of the documentary movie will be for sale after the event.
Captain Emilio Carranza has been called “Mexico’s Lindbergh”. In 1928, while flying a goodwill mission from New York City to Mexico City, his plane crashed near Tabernacle, New Jersey during a thunderstorm. Since his death, members of American Legion Post 11 in Mount Holly have continued to promote his goodwill mission by honoring the pioneer aviator Captain Emilio Carranza.
