Der Eintrag
Ein Stück der Mauer auf dem Gedenkweg der Airlift/Tanker Association auf der Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, 2024 noch dort.
Die ausführliche Geschichte, die Herkunft und die Quellenangaben dieses Eintrags liegen bislang nur auf Englisch vor.
The walk is called the Walk of Fame, and the base lies east of St. Louis. When ground was broken there in August 2024 for a new monument to Operation Allies Refuge, the Air Force's own report listed what the new memorial would be joining: a piece of the Berlin Wall, a 9/11 memorial and memorial busts.
That is as much as an official source says, and the record keeps to it. Accounts of how the slab got there — who gave it, when, how large it is — circulate without a primary source behind them, and are left out until one is found. Scott is an active installation, so the walk is not generally open to the public.
The listing this record comes from pinned it ten kilometres west of the base. The pin now marks the memorial on Heritage Drive, as the Historical Marker Database records it. That database's transcription of the memorial's inscription says the piece of the Wall at its east end was furnished by the Luftbrücke chapter of the Airlift Association; it is a copy of the plaque rather than a primary source, and is given here as such.
