B-24 Liberator the Pistol Pakin mamma's

With help from relatives of the "Pistol Pakin Mamma" crew, Consolidated B-24 Liberator, SN 42-72989, I was able to add some updated photographs to this tribute. Thanks Tim and Phil for your contributions!

@TheLimbReaper My dad is Roger, he commented the video on my account.

[TheLimbReaper]

@HAZARDROFLS Cool! Either friend me (so I can message you my email) or PM me with your dads email. I'd like to share a small amount of information with him about "The Lemon" and see if he has anything he can share.

[HAZARDROFLS]

Very nice presentation. It was nice to see my Uncle and his crewmates who lost their lives over Truk Atoll 5 May 1944.

[TheLimbReaper]

@HAZARDROFLS Wow, are you saying your uncle was on B-24, "The Lemon"?

[TheLimbReaper]

@HAZARDROFLS Hey, you never got back to me. Are you related to "Roger"?; same last name as yours. You need to PM me.

They will NEVER be forgotten,thank you heroes giving back our freedom.

Most respect to you,thank you from holland.

@hihahenkie Your kind comment means so very much to me and is greatly appreciated. I wish my Grand-father were still alive to see all this recently found information about his brother (the pilot). I'm sure it would be overwhelming for him to hear appreciation from Holland.

Timmy and all Contributors—Thank you. Your video provides a new element to my Uncle Rene.

My Mother kept Uncle Rene’s prayer/funeral card in her often-consulted 1950’s red-and-white-checked Betty Crocker cookbook. When asked, my Mother always said “~Rene is my brother whom I love and miss very much.” I never had a chance to meet my Uncle Rene; but somehow, like my Mother, I always miss Rene too.

Well done. Thank you.—Diane, Tim’s cousin in Philadelphia, PA

@mabrabes Thank you very much....Without the help from the family's this wouldn't be possible. Phil Brodziak contributed so many photos and [Rene] Brabender logs present a time line. Hopefully, maybe someday we can compile a complete printed (personal) book for the families including DVD's. I hope with the inclusion of this extra information more Pistol Pakin Mamma crew families will come forward. Thanks, Brant
