Below are a few photos from Captain Lemon's album, thanks to his son Chuck Lemon.

The pic of him in the grass is from the rescue copter. I remember dad telling me that one of the guys who rescued him took a picture, this was it.

There is also a caption on an index card below the picture in his scrapbook that reads: SAVED BY UH_! HELICOPTER OF THE 101ST AIRBORNE.

He also has an Airborne patch under the picture. There is no name associated with who actually rescued him but I'm sure we will eventually find out.

another index card under the pic of him running in the grass says: EC-47 #402 HIT BY 37MM ANTI AIRCRAFT. IN THE CRASH 2 MEN DIED. SIX OF US GOT OUT ALIVE. GOD WAS WITH US THAT DAY. (Dad always wrote in caps.)

I will bring the scrapbook with me to San Antonio next year for the reunion Danny told me about. Thanks again for the informative site! I feel like we have just begun climbing the EC-47 documentary mountain and am looking forward to making the journey to the top with you all.

thanks, chuck
