Known as “Mexico’s Charles Lindbergh”, aviator Emilio Carranza crashed and died in the New Jersey Pine Barrens on July 12, 1928, on the return leg of a goodwill trip between New York City and Mexico City – returning the favor of Charles Lindbergh’s famed nonstop flight to Mexico City the year before. The Pine Barrens of New Jersey, also known as the Pinelands are a heavily forested area covering over a million acres of coastal plain across central New Jersey. Hidden in the scrub pines near Sandy Ridge in the Pinelands is a quiet, lonely place missed by many. Rising from the ground stands a stone monument paid for by the children of Mexico, who saved their pesos to quarry stone from the state of Coahuila, the birthplace of their hero - on one weather-worn side you can still read his name - Emilio Carranza. Each year the American Legion Post 11 keeps Capt. Carranza’s memory alive with their lasting promise to honor the fallen hero.
