It is a Day of remembering my dad (Sgt.Duane M. Yirka), when I see all the history displayed. I got out his "AVIATORS FLIGHT LOG BOOK" and pictures that he took of the war;He flew in Mar- April 1945 with pilots,Borland,Hawkins and Bennett. It was kind of neat to see the same insignia of the VMB-433 HERE AS IN MY DADS PICTURES IN THE ISLANDS. Best wishes to all those who served with my father and their families. If anyone recognizes his name please email me back. Gods Peace, Doug

This is a great site! It is nice to review / be reminded of the great service my father gave to this country & the men he served with & told stories about....his flight crew. I met most of them at the 50th reunion when my Dad was still alive. I was amazed at how the men bonded even after all these years! When my Dad, Gerard E. Hoff passed away, I was in charge of getting the Marine Honorguard. I told the Sergeant I had been a Marine for 33 years. He asked me where I had served & then chuckled when I told him it was under Staff Sargeant Gerard Hoff! Thanks & Semper Fi to whoever did this site!

I joined VMB433 as a replacement radio/gunner on Christmas Day 1944, at Emirau. This website has given me much information about the history of VMB433 which I would not otherwise have had. Thanks to all those who contributed. Best wishes to all. Semper Fi, Walt Hensley

The new website looks great! I'd like to contribute some photographs from my Dad's time with VMB-433. I can also give you most of the names of the pilots in the squadron photograph.
