Due to negligence of Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl in faulty repairs on my BMW I had to take a big hit on price when I recently sold the car.

Due to negligence of Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl in faulty repairs on my BMW I had to take a big hit on price when I recently sold the car. Based on Kelley Blue Book data, the estimated Private Party Value for a 1999 BMW Z3 in good condition with approximately 95,000 miles is roughly $6,800. Values for this vehicle can vary significantly based on the specific trim and body style. For the 1999 model year, the "2.5" engine was technically marketed as the 2.3 Roadster (which featured a 2.5L 6-cylinder engine). Due to the negligence work of Aamco Car Repair on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl, (proven in Sarasota County Court case 2025 SC 002429 NC), I obtained a monetary Judgement. 

I had to reduce the selling price of my BMW by $4,000 in March of 2026 as the power steering never worked in reverse after Aamco put a supposed new power steering unit in and cleaned the vacuum lines by March of 2025. Forget about any such so called Aamco warranty on the power steering work as I had the car back to Aamco 2 times after paying them in excess of $4,500, they never were able to fixed the power steering that did not work when the car was put in reverse! 

In addition, in regards to some other Aamco repair work, the mechanics at Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl did not properly tighten the nuts and bolts from the driveshaft to the transmission on my BMW Z3, proven in Sarasota County Court Judge Denkin case 2025 SC 002429 NC, and as you would expect the driveshaft tore itself off the transmission and fell out on Proctor Rd while driving in traffic. It cost me over $8,000 to fix all the screw ups by the Aamco mechanics on my BMW in 2025 and then I had to sell it for a big loss in March of 2026 to "We Buy Any Car" Sarasota Fl, at $4,000 below the suggested Blue Book price because the power steering unit that Aamco put in my car never worked properly.

My Current Review of Aamco car repair on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl. BAD DEAL HERE AT AAMCO; very bad car repair experience with this auto repair shop and the co-owners Chad Russell on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl! This is a real review from a real customer who spent real American money and received nothing but aggravation and negligent work as per a Sarasota County Small Claims Court decision case 2025 SC 002429 NC by Judge Denkin. 

I had to file a lawsuit in Sarasota court to get some of my money back. These people are the worst ever, they ruined any resale value of my BMW Z3 after paying these clowns in excess of $4,500 to fix the power steering and a bunch of other problems, some of which the Judge ruled they created. Do not take your car here! No STARS here! 


Sarasota Private Investigator Bill Warner, True Crime Stories, Bill Warner Investigations Sarasota Fl.

Sarasota Saudi Al-Hijji Rolled Out Red Carpet for 9/11 Pilot Ziad Jarrah & Aysel Senguen in Jan 2001, Saudi Spy Omar Bayoumi showed with D.C. tape.

"Mi Casa Su Casa", Saudi Abdulaziz al-Hijji rolled out the red carpet at his home in Prestancia Sarasota Fl for the three 9/11 pilots who trained at nearby Venice, especially for Ziad Jarrah, 26, and his wife Aysel Senguen, 27, in Jan 2001. A 2002 memo from an FBI field agent with the Southwest Florida Domestic Security Task Force noted “many connections” between the Saudi al-Hijji’s at Prestancia in Sarasota Fl and three of the pilot hijackers — Mohamed Atta, Ziad Jarrah and Marwan al-Shehhi, according to the Herald-Tribune. 

The three 9/11 pilots learned to fly planes at Huffman Aviation and Florida Flight Training Center (FFTC) in the nearby city of Venice. It appears that Ziad Jarrah was to have had a Hamburg Germany partner in Venice Florida C05416972. The FAA issued Ziad Jarrah a private pilot certificate on July 30, 2000. In or about August 2000, Ziad Jarrah (9/11 pilot Flight #93) attempted to enroll al-Qaeda terrorist Ramzi Binalshibh in the 'Florida Flight Training Center' (FFTC) flight school in Venice Florida, his visa application was denied 4 times. Ramzi Binalshibh sent a deposit to the Florida Flight Training Center but failed on multiple occasions in the year 2000 to obtain a US Visa. 

EXCLUSIVE: 9/11 Pilot Ziad Jarrah, age 26, and Wife Aysel Senguen, age 27, Partied in Sarasota for 10 Days in January 2001 at the Abdulaziz Al-Hijji Prestancia House in Sarasota Fl from Jan 5th to Jan 15, "Mi Casa Su Casa". Ziad Jarrah, 26, was a party boy who had attended Catholic school in Beirut, Lebanon, first known entry into the US is June 27, 2000 through Atlanta, Georgia. Ziad Jarrah opened an account at SunTrust bank in Venice, Florida, with a $2,000 cash deposit in July 2000, apparently cash he had brought into the country. During playboy Ziad Jarrah's time in America, he receives $2,000 a month from his wealthy family in Lebanon as a stipend which some of it is spent in strip clubs in Sarasota, Jacksonville and Las Vegas, he loved women, and didn't let his marriage to Aysel get in the way. The couple broke up and reconciled over and over. Aysel became pregnant. She aborted the pregnancy, she told investigators, because of the uncertainty of their relationship. She later apologized to Ziad by mail: “I had to think about our baby today,” she wrote. “I am sorry about everything I did to you.” 

Ziad Jarrah, 26, was a party boy who hit the beaches in Beirut Lebanon, he would fit right in Sarasota at Siesta Key Beach. Ziad Jarrah was born in Mazraa, Lebanon, to a wealthy family and was raised in Beirut. Ziad Jarrah and his wife/copilot Aysel Senguen met in 1996 in the western German city of Bochum, where she was studying to become a doctor/dentist. Ms Senguen, who is of Turkish descent, said she helped Ziad Jarrah find a flying school in Venice Fl and sat as a passenger/copilot while he piloted a flight simulator in Miami Florida on January 8th, 2001. Ziad Jarrah arranged to attend the Florida Flight Training Center (FFTC) in Venice, Florida, in late June 2000, Aysel Senguen helped him pick this school.

Ziad Jarrah was a spoiled womanizer, Ziad's parents bought him a red Mercedes when he was 16 (he likes red cars). Handsome and charismatic, Ziad Jarrah drank wine and beer, wore Italian shoes and American designer jeans. He was trained to be a pilot and had a degree in Aviation Mechanics. Party boy Ziad Jarrah knew the best nightclubs and discos in Beirut and partied with fellow students in Germany and in Venice Fl, even drinking beer, a clear taboo for any religious Muslim. The FAA issued Ziad Jarrah a private pilot certificate on November 30, 2000. Records list Mohamed Atta, Ziad Jarrah and Marwan al-Shehhi as frequent visitors to the al-Hijji household in Prestancia Sarasota Fl in summer-fall 2000 and early 2001. GLOBE & MAIL ARTICLE 11/20/2002: Ziad Jarrah's girlfriend Aysel Senguen, 27, recounted Mr. Jarrah's subsequent move to the United States and her 10-day visit in January of 2001, during which she sat as a passenger when he trained in a Boeing flight simulator in Miami Florida. Ziad Jarrah married Aysel in a spring 1999 ceremony at a mosque in Hamburg.

Saudi Spy Omar Bayoumi fooled FBI in summer of 1999 between June and July as he cased and did obvious video surveillance on the US Capitol building in Washington D. C.. Omar Bayoumi scouted the US Capitol for the 'planes job' and examined the location and circumstances for the planned Al-Qaeda bosses action on Sept 11th 2001, and nobody questioned him, WTH?  Investigators believe the pre-operational surveillance tape in Washington DC was for the 9/11 attacks and a copy would have been given to the 9/11 pilot of Flight 93 Ziad Jarrah when he was flight training in Sarasota Fl area in late 2000.

Saudi spy Omar Bayoumi filmed US Capitol in July 1999 as a target for 9/11 pilot Ziad Jarrah. Federal officials and former FBI agents believe the U.S. Capitol was the intended target for United Flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. United Airlines Flight 93 with hijack pilot Ziad Jarrah was supposed to crash into the Capitol building on Sept 11, 2001. Sarasota trained pilot Ziad Jarrah was in the drivers seat of Flight 93 that was taken down by hero passengers in a PA field. 

Where was/is the VHS tape? A-Qaeda pilot Ziad Jarrah was to target the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. on Sept 11th, 2001, Saudi spy Omar Bayoumi did surveillance and filmed the Capitol Building in 1999. Saudi spy Omar Bayoumi would have visited the home of Saudi facilitator Abdulaziz al-Hijji in Sarasota FL where 9/11 pilots Mohamed Atta, Ziad Jarrah and Marwan al-Shehhi hung out at in fall of 2000? Just sayin, most likely Omar Bayoumi did go to Sarasota to confer with Ziad Jarrah on his target the Capitol Building in late 2000 and brought a copy of the VHS tape!  

Saudi Spy Omar Bayoumi was directly linked to al-Qaeda procurement agent Ziyad Khaleel in the United States. Ziyad Khaleel was the roommate of Imam Muneer Arafat in Columbia MO from 1998 to 1999. Imam Muneer Arafat was transferred to the Sarasota Fl Mosque in March of 2000, just prior to 9/11 hijack pilots showing up nearby, small world, eh? They were all here in late 2000, Sarasota was 9/11 terror central in late 2000. There was a video tape of the surveillance activity of Omar Bayoumi at the Capitol building in Washington DC floating around from July 1999, did it make it's way to Sarasota during July to December 2000 and to Flight 93 to be pilot Ziyad Jarrah, just sayin?

9/11 Pilot Ziad Jarrah, DOB 5/11/1975, Chronology Part 01 of 02 FBI Vault: 9/11 Hijack pilot Ziad Jarrah, 26, was on a worldwide whirlwind romantic fling with his wife Aysel Senguen, 27, from December 26, 2000 to January 16th, 2001, he was using VISA card #4011 8060 7080 4835. The unofficial Muslim wedding between Ziad Jarrah and Aysel Senguen took place in April 1999 in Germany. Along the way they had stops in Dusseldorf GR, Berlin GR, London UK, Beirut Lebanon, Athens Greece, Istanbul Turkey, Key West Fl, Siesta Key Fl and all centered around a 10 day stay in January 2001 at the al-Hijji Prestancia party house in Sarasota, "Mi Casa Su Casa". Ziad Jarrah initially left the USA on December 26th, 2000 to fly to Munich GR to meet and return with his wife Aysel Senguen.

On January 5th, 2001 Ziad Jarrah returned from Dusseldorf, Germany with Aysel Senguen, landing at Newark Liberty International Airport Newark, New Jersey, and flying onward to TIA airport Tampa, Florida and then driving to Venice Fl in his 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse car that he left at long term parking at TIA. Bochum Gr where Aysel Senguen was living in the late 1990's and early 2000's is just 60 miles from the international airport at Düsseldorf, Germany where Ziad Jarrah, 26, made frequent trips to visit Aysel Senguen, 27. There is no indications that Ziad Jarrah, 26, and Aysel Senguen, 27 rented a hotel room in Sarasota Fl from Jan 5th to Jan 16th 2001. FBI verified timeline indicates that 9/11 terrorist Ziad Jarrah was living at 400 Base Street, unit #221 Venice, Florida as of November 1st, 2000 with other pilots (not conducive to privacy for the honeymooners). Ziad Jarrah during the time period from November 1st, 2000 to Jan 30th 2001 had been living with other pilots from Florida Flight Training Center (FFTC) in communal housing at the Venice airport, he would have not brought his wife Aysel Senguen here! Ziad Jarrah, 26, would have brought his wife Aysel Senguen, 27, to the al-Hijji party  house in Prestancia Sarasota Fl. Ziad Jarrah brought Aysel Senguen back to Venice - Sarasota Fl for a ten-day visit starting on Jan 5th 2001, and she even attended a flight school session with him in mid-January of 2001 in Miami Fl. During Aysel Senguen's time with Ziad Jarrah in Venice Fl they flew to Key West in a rented plane, a belated honeymoon trip, with Ziad renting the plane at the Venice airport so Aysel could be his faux copilot.

On Jan 16th, 2001 Ziad Jarrah, 26, and Aysel Senguen, 27, flew on Continental Airlines from Tampa TIA to Newark NJ so Aysel Sengun could make her connecting flight to the international airport at Düsseldorf, Germany. During the same time frame, on January 11, 2001, Marwan Al-Shehhi departed Sarasota Fl to Tampa Fl to JFK Airport for Casablanca, Morocco. A week later, on January 18, 2001, Marwan Al-Shehhi returned to Sarasota Florida. The Florida Flight Training Center (FFTC) in Venice where Ziad Jarrah had been studying said he was registered in school there until January 31, 2001. 9/11 pilot Ziad Jarrah went to Jacksonville from January 22-26, 2001, then on January 26, 2001 Ziad Jarrah departed the United States for the fourth time to Germany to visit Aysel Senguen his wife. After all of this romance, to wine and dine Aysel Senguen with flights all around the world, this psychopath Ziad Jarrah hijacked UA Flight 93 on Sept 11, 2001 and flew it into the ground killing everyone on board. United Airlines Flight 93 was hijacked by four individuals identified as Ziad Samir Jarrah, Saeed al Ghamdi, Ahmed Ibrahim A. al-Haznawi, and Ahmed Abdullah al-Nami, armed with cutting instruments and stating that they had a box containing a bomb. The hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93 were led by Ziad Jarrah, the only hijacker of this group trained as a pilot. 

Ziad Jarrah moved to Venice, Sarasota County Florida in early July 2000, Aysel Senguen went to visit him in early January 2001. Ziad Jarrah had visited the Al-Hijji house at 4224 Escondito Circle on multiple occasions from August 2000 to end of Jan 2001, so of course he was going to show off his wife/copilot Aysel Senguen to the Al-Hijji clan during her visit from Jan 5th to Jan 15th, 2001 in Sarasota. Supposedly by this time the couple had a Muslim marriage in April 1999 so that they would have been accepted as a couple in the Saudi al-Hijji house. Aysel Senguen told the court she sat like a passenger/copilot as Ziad Jarrah trained in a Boeing flight simulator in Miami Florida on Jan 8th, 2001. "He told me not to tell anyone back home that he was in America. I did tell a few people and he was very annoyed."

Of the 19 Muslims who struck the United States on September 11 2001, the Lebanese-born Ziad Jarrah was at the controls of United Airlines Flight 93, the plane forced down by its heroic passengers in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Ziad Jarrah hailed from a privileged Sunni family from the Bekaa Valley and was raised in Beirut. Ziad Jarrah had gone to an elite French Lycée Collège de la Sagesse a Catholic school, one of the country’s most prestigious. Aysel Senguen—a young woman of Turkish descent, fiercely irreligious, a medical student—fell in love with him, and there were plans for marriage in 1999. The boy who never missed a party in Beirut would now never miss a prayer in Hamburg with 9/11 pilots Atta and al-Shehhi. In January 2000, Usama bin Laden and Mohammed Atef the military commander of al Qaeda, tasked Ramzi Binalshibh, Mohamed Atta (AA #11), Marwan al Shehhi (UA #175), and Ziad Jarrah (UA #93) aka Abu Tareq al-Lubnani to obtain flight training for a martyrdom operation in the USA and report to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) on their progress.

Ziad Samir Jarrah July 2000, registers car, red 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse in Florida. On Sept 6th, 2001 Ziad Jarrah sold his 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse car to Smartway Auto Sales for $700 cash. Ziad Jarrah's car a sporty red 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse passed through the Prestancia Community North gate in Sarasota Fl multiple times. Ziad Jarrah's Florida driver's license was #J600997751710 issued 2 May 2001 expiration 11 May 2007 Virginia ID #T6619335 issued 29 August 2001 expires 31 May 2005. His FAA private pilot certification #2633773, his International Student ID Card UNESCO S-049-207-976-467. Ziad Jarrah Visa information, US visa #34138882 issued 3 September 2000 in Beirut. 'There Ain't No Coincidences in Terrorism'. 

In his absorbing new book about the Sept. 11 hijackers, the Los Angeles Times reporter Terry McDermott provides a detailed portrait of one of those hijackers, Ziad Jarrah, and his tortured marriage to the vivacious Aysel Senguen. When they first meet at a German university, McDermott writes in "Perfect Soldiers," he seemed a good match: "a big-city boy with an easy smile, like her a moderate Muslim who enjoyed a good time," and like her, an aspiring dental student.

In April 1996, Ziad Jarrah and a cousin enrolled at a junior college in Greifswald, in northeastern Germany about 164 miles west of Hamburg. There Ziad Jarrah met and became intimate with Aysel Senguen, the daughter of Turkish immigrants, who was preparing to study dentistry. In September 1997, Ziad Jarrah abruptly switched his intended course of study from dentistry to aircraft engineering-at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg. In the last days of March 1999, to Aysel Sengüen’s amazement Ziad Jarrah, appeared at her door in Bochum Germany where she had moved for her studies, and asked her to marry him, Bochum is about 218 miles east of Hamburg. Ziad Jarrah in March of 1999 was living in Hamburg GR. The unofficial Muslim wedding between Ziad Jarrah and Aysel Senguen took place in April 1999, at the al-Nour Mosque in Gelsenkirchen, Germany just west of Bochum Germany. They never registered their marriage with the state or told either of their families. Aysel Sengüen never considered the marriage genuine, she told friends, but she nonetheless insisted that al-Jarrah sign an Islamic marriage contract, according to which he would permit her to finish her studies, and then to work. 

When he tried to disavow his pledge she enlisted the support of the imam of al-Nour, who called Ziad al-Jarrah in and told him that Aysel Sengüen was right. Bochum Gr where Aysel Senguen was living in the late 1990's and early 2000's is just 60 miles from the international airport at Düsseldorf, Germany where Ziad Jarrah made frequent trips to visit Aysel Senguen in Bochum GR.

The journey to the United States in the summer of 2000 by Ziad Jarrah was the journey of a jihadist-in-preparation. He would take a course in martial arts and attend a flight school in Venice, Florida. He set off no alarms. Always with Ziad Jarrah, there was the polish of his background; bin Laden had chosen his killers well. They were taught to slip into the world of the infidels undetected. A boy educated in a Catholic school was now ready to kill and die for the Muslim faith. Late in 2000 (December) Ziad flew to Beirut to visit his family as his father was very ill, and then to Germany to visit his wife/copilot Aysel Sengüen in December 2000.

82nd ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY INVASION NORMANDY JUNE 6th 1944 TURNS TIDE OF WWII, 82nd AIRBORNE PARATROOPER ROBERT WARNER AND HIS 3 BROTHERS WERE THERE

Gen. Dwight Eisenhower originally planned for D-Day to happen on June 5. The 'unpredictable' English weather intervened until Tuesday June 6th 1944. But Eisenhower still wrote a famous letter that day. "Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower gives the order of the Day. 'Full victory-nothing less' to paratroopers in England, just before they board their airplanes to participate in the first assault in the invasion of the continent of Europe." 

Iconic photo of General Eisenhower meeting with US Co. E, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment (Strike) of the 101st Airborne Division, photo taken at Greenham Common Airfield in England about 8:30 p.m. on Monday June 5, 1944, recreated for new movie "Pressure". The General was talking about fly fishing with his paratroopers as he always did before a stressful operation.

NEW: General Dwight D. Eisenhower D-Day movie, titled "Pressure", is out now and currently playing in theaters. Brendan Fraser becomes Ike see Movie Trailer. Released on May 29, 2026 the World War II political thriller centers on the intense 72 hours leading up to the Normandy invasion on June 6th, 1944. In the seventy two hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element – the British weather. Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever airborne-seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on. 

82nd ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY INVASION NORMANDY JUNE 6th 1944 TURNS TIDE OF WWII 82nd AIRBORNE PARATROOPER ROBERT WARNER AND HIS 3 BROTHERS WERE THERE OM JUNE 6TH, 1944. Paratrooper Robert F.

A massive airborne operation preceded the Allied amphibious invasion of the Normandy beaches. In the early hours of June 6, 1944, several hours prior to troops landing on the beaches, over 13,000 elite paratroopers (Robert F. Warner Binghamton NY) of the American 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, as well as several thousand from the British 6th Airborne Division were dropped at night by over 1,200 aircraft. Almost 4,000 more paratroopers would later be brought in by gliders, known as Waco Gliders, during daylight hours. In total 23,000 paratroopers and glider troops would be used in Normandy. They were all to land inland, behind the main line of German defenders on the beach, and were given the job of taking the town of St. Mere Eglise and securing key approaches bridges like at La Fiere to the Allied beachhead.

SONG LYRICS: "American girls and American guys, We'll always stand up and salute, We'll always recognize, When we see Old Glory flying.
There's a lot of men dead. So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head. My daddy served in the army. Where he lost his right eye but he flew a flag out in our yard. Until the day that he died. He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me To grow up and live happy In the land of the free. Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack. A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in from somewhere in the back. Soon as we could see clearly, Through our big black eye. Man, we lit up your world, Like the fourth of July. Hey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list, And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist. And the eagle will fly man, it's gonna be hell, When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell. And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you. Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue. Justice will be served and the battle will rage, This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage, And you'll be sorry that you messed with The U.S. of A. 'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass, It's the American way."

 

Binghamton Press Article: BAND OF WARNER BROTHERS AT D-DAY INVASION OF NORMANDY & STE.-MERE-EGLISE JUNE 6TH 1944 WITH 82ND AIRBORNE; City of Binghamton WWII 'band of brothers', 4 Warner brothers,  James Warner, Robert (Bobby) Warner, Harry Warner & William (Bill) Warner, were involved in the D-Day invasion. Paratrooper Army Pvt. Robert Warner, who was in his early 20s at the time, landed in Normandy (Ste.- Mere- Eglise) with the 507th Parachute Infantry 82nd Airborne early on June 6th 1944.

D-DAY BAND OF BROTHERS: James Warner, Robert Warner, Harry Warner & William Warner. Press & Sun-Bulletin Binghamton NY: James, Robert, Harry and William Warner were literally a military "band of brothers. " The four sons of Harry J. and Katherine Warner grew up at 93 Schubert St. on Binghamton's West Side. After graduation from high school at St Patrick's and Binghamton Central, all the brothers enlisted in the armed services and served in World War II; they were involved in the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6th 1944. Like so many World War II veterans, though, members of the local "band of brothers" have all gone to graveyards, every one.

U.S. Coast Guard veteran William Warner, who was the youngest and last surviving of the male siblings, died Feb. 18 2007 at his home in Dearborn, Mich., a family member said. He graduated from Binghamton Central High in 1943 and was a retired executive with the Ford Motor Co. William, 82, was one of two Warner brothers who settled elsewhere after World War II. Harry, also a Binghamton Central High graduate who died 11 months ago, moved to Dallas after he got married. James, the oldest brother, who died in 1991, and Robert came home to Binghamton after the war. At one time, James worked for Koehler Manufacturing Co., and Robert, who died in 1995, was a U.S. Postal Service employee. As each Warner brother died through the years -- added to the deaths of all World War II veterans who are buried at a rate of 1,500 a day -- the curtain continued to drop on an entire generation that changed culture and society after America's defining war. 

"Their legacy is dying with them," said Brian Vojtisek, who is Broome County's director of Veterans Services. "Their stories are dwindling down to footnotes in history." In its most recent report in late 2006, the U.S. Census reported 3.9million living World War II veterans, out of 16 million who served between Dec. 1, 1941, and Dec. 31, 1946. The average age of living World War II vets is 96. According to US Department of Veterans Affairs statistics, 167,284 of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II were alive in 2022.

US Coast Guard 3rd Class Machine-Gunner William Bill" Warner on June 6 1944 D-Day Normandy served on 83-foot wooden rescue cutter, one of 60 Coast Guard wooden rescue cutters sent to England to serve as rescue craft off each of the beaches during the Normandy Invasion picking up the wounded under heavy Nazi machine gun fire. US Coast Guard Machine-Gunner William Bill" Warner returned covering fire from his 50 caliber machine gun from the 83-foot wooden rescue cutter so that Navy medics could remove wounded from the Normandy beaches, the CG Rescue Cutter was made of wood, he had no protection from Nazi machine guns. The 83-foot cutters 83401, renamed USCG 20, and the 83402, renamed USCG 21, were two of the sixty Coast Guard cutters sent to England to serve as rescue craft off each of the invasion beaches during the Normandy Invasion. These wooden-hulled rescue cutters were all built by Wheeler Shipyard in Brooklyn, New York. The first 145 cutters were fitted with an Everdur bronze wheelhouse but due to a growing scarcity of that metal during the war, the latter units were fitted with a plywood wheelhouse (wow sure not bullet proof). A total of 230 83-footers were built and entered service with the Coast Guard during World War II. William "Bill" Warner was in his late teens in 1944-1945. After the war, he graduated from Binghamton University in 1951. He had attended Binghamton Central at the same time as science fiction writer Rod Serling of TV Twilight Zone fame.

 

 

 

A SILENT GENERATION; Despite their honorable service records, the Warner brothers carried their combat experiences to their graves, said Robert's son, Bill Warner, of Sarasota, Fla. "Not one of them ever told me anything about it," said Bill Warner now a Sarasota Fl Private Investigator, who graduated from Binghamton North High School and Broome Tech. "Not a word. Forget about it; it was something they had to do. They did it; that was it." That's not unusual for combat veterans, said Vojtisek, especially the World War II generation,"You don't hear specific stories about how horrific their experiences were. It's locked in the back of their minds," he said."For that generation, that was how many of them dealt with it.

The first time Sarasota PI Bill Warner watched the movie "Saving PrivateRyan," he understood why it was difficult for his father and uncles to talk about their war time experiences."When I saw the movie, I was stunned. I just never knew what it was all about or what they had to deal with or exactly how horrible it was," said Bill Warner, who lived in Binghamton NY before moving to Sarasota Fl in 1988, where his mother and father had been living. "I wish they would have talked about it. "The movie, directed by Steven Spielberg, chronicled an Army rescue mission to find paratrooper Pvt. James Ryan and send him home after three of his brothers were killed in combat. 

Unlike the fictional Mrs. Ryan in the movie, Katherine Warner did not lose any sons in combat. Katherine, a house wife, kept four Blue stars in the front window of the family's Schubert Street home to wait for her sons' return. She and her husband, Harry, who worked for Endicott Johnson Shoe Corp., also had a daughter, Mary Ann Warner, who was a registered nurse. Harry died in the mid-1960s; Katherine lived in the Schubert Street house until the mid-1970s when she moved to a nursing home.

AT WAR AND HOME; Robert, William and Harry Warner were involved in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. James Warner probably arrived in the war zone sometime after the initial assault on a Hospital ship. From air and sea, Allied troops invaded Normandy's beaches on June 6, 1944, with 5,300 ships, nearly 11,000 airplanes, about 50,000 military vehicles and 154,000 troops. The strategy was to establish five beachheads as gateways into the German-occupied territory. The assault eventually opened Western Europe to Allied forces and turned the tide against Adolf Hitler.

With two combat assaults under its belt, the 82nd Airborne Division was now ready for the most ambitious airborne operation of the war so far, as part of Operation Neptune, the invasion of Normandy. The 82nd Airborne Division conducted Operation Boston, part of the airborne assault phase of the Overlord plan. In preparation for the operation, the division was reorganized. Due to a need for integrating replacement troops, rest, and refitting following the fighting in Italy, the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment was not assigned to the division for the invasion. 

My dad, PFC Robert F. Warner, was a badass paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne during WWII carrying a .45 caliber M1A1 Thompson sub-machine gun with a 30-round mag mowing down Nazi's from Sainte-Mère-Eglise France to the Rhineland in Germany, and he never told me about it.

Two new parachute infantry regiments, the 507th and the 508th, were attached to provide, along with the 505th, a three-parachute infantry regiment punch. On June 5, 1944 (just hours before midnight) and June 6, 1944, these paratroopers, parachute artillery elements, the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment and the 319th and 320th Glider Field Artillery Battalions, boarded hundreds of transport planes and gliders to begin the largest airborne assault in history.

In the early hours of June 6, 1944, paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division, All American (AA) dropped into Ste.-Mère-Église, a town of 1,500 astride a road network a few miles from the invasion sector called Utah Beach. Their mission was to block German troops from attacking the American infantrymen arriving at dawn in the vanguard of the D-Day invasion. By about 4:30 a.m., the paratroopers had seized the town, and Lt. Col. Edward Krause of the 505th Parachute Infantry raised an American flag outside the town hall. Paratrooper Army Pvt. Robert Warner, who was in his early 20s at the time, landed in Normandy (Ste.- Mere- Eglise) with the 507th Parachute Infantry (82nd Airborne). He had enlisted in April 1942 after graduation from the former St. Patrick Academy High School in Binghamton. A newspaper story reported him as getting injured in combat, although his injuries were not life-threatening.

Paratrooper Robert Warner of the 82nd Airborne Division, 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) received the "American Service Medal", the Soldier's Medal, the "Distinguished Unit Badge", the "European African Middle Eastern Service Medal" and a "Purple Heart" on March 24th, 1945 at the Rhineland "Operation Varsity" Jump. A Binghamton Press article of April 13, 1945 indicated that Paratrooper Robert Warner of the 82nd Airborne Division had been overseas since December 1943 and had been in combat since the invasion of Normandy France on June 6th 1944 up till when he was wounded on March 24th 1945 in the Rhineland Germany battle, that's 10 months straight of combat that included the Battle of the Bulge.

According to a Binghamton Press article of April 13, 1945, Pfc Robert F. Warner, 24, a paratrooper was injured in action in Germany on March 24, 1945. Overseas since December, 1943, Private Warner has been in combat since the invasion of Normandy on June 6th, 1944. Paratrooper Robert F. Warner of the 82nd Airborne Division, 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) made 2 combat parachute drops, Normandy "Operation Neptune", Battle of the Bulge in the Ardenes Forest and the final combat jump, Rhineland "Operation Varsity" at the Wars end on March 24th, 1945 when he was wounded in combat.

Paratrooper Robert Warner of the 82nd Airborne Division, 3rd Battalion Company G, 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) appears to have been on the first wave of pathfinders at about 2:30 am on D-Day June 6th, 1944 that dropped in or near St Mere Eglise France.
During the invasion, Seaman William (Bill) Warner was stationed on a Coast Guard cutter in the English Channel. The cutter and crew helped rescue Allied troops during the critical days of the invasion, according to a newspaper story in August 1944. William was in his late teens at the time. After the war, he graduated from Binghamton University in 1951. He had attended Binghamton Central at the same time as science fiction writer Rod Serling.
 
Like his brother Robert, Harry Warner was also in his early 20s at the time of Normandy. Harry was a petty officer aboard a Navy destroyer that guarded Allied vessels from Nazi U-boats. After the war, he returned to Binghamton and married Elizabeth Ann Brink in November 1956. The wedding drew a lot of newspaper attention -- even a pre-nuptial story about the attendants and the color scheme. The bride was the daughter of Broome County Judge Robert O. Brink. The couple moved to Dallas where Harry became an executive with the Equitable Life Insurance Co.
 
Army Lt. James Warner was the first of the brothers to enlist. He began active duty on April 23, 1941, and served in England for 14 months with the Army Medical Corps. James, who was in his late 20s at the time of the D-Day invasion, probably arrived in the war zone after the initial assault. 

 

By March 24, 1945 Robert F. Warner was serving as a private in Company G, 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 17th Airborne Division. On that day, his unit was dropped by parachute across the Rhine river near Fluren, Germany. PFC Robert Warner 82nd Airborne was wounded during the action and received a Purple Heart medal. 

PFC ROBERT F. WARNER 17th AIRBORNE DIVISION 507th PARACHUTE INFANTRY REGIMENT WAS A SOLDIER'S MEDAL RECIPIENT DURING WWII. The Soldier's Medal was established in 1926 and denotes acts of heroism in a non-combat situation. It is awarded for heroic actions on behalf of fellow soldiers or civilians. PFC Robert F. Warner, US Army 17th Airborne Division, 3rd Battalion, 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Company G, was a proud veteran of the All American 82nd Airborne till the day he died in Sarasota Fl Sep 3rd 1995 at the age of 74.

 

Apparently on Jan 1st, 1945 while during a lull at the Battle of the Bulge, a soldier got too close to an open fire pit wearing the US Army full length winter coat and it caught on fire. The coat apparently had some gasoline fuel spilled on it from loading a truck and the coat exploded into a ball of flames. PFC Robert Warner knocked the soldier engulfed in flames to the ground and 'rolled him out in the snow', both men suffered burns but both survived.

 

While he lived in the Binghamton area after the war, James Warner once headed the Chamber of Commerce's Business-Industry-Education program that connected high school students with local business and corporate leaders for a real-world learning experience. "They are all gone now," Bill Warner said. "An era has ended". 

WWII vetren Robert 'Bobby' Warner was a product of a large military family that lived at 93 Schubert St in Binghamton NY. The 1940 census had the parents Harry Warner a WWI vet, his wife Catherine (Sullivan) Warner and sister in law Mary Sullivan at the Schubert St address along with William 'Bill' Warner US Coast Guard WWII, Richard Warner, Robert 'Bobby' Warner US Army WWII, James 'Jimmy' Warner US Army WWII , Mary Ann Warner RN (a lifelong Registered Nurse) and Harry 'Hank' Warner US Navy WWII. "Band of Brothers" Bill, Bobby, Jimmy and Hank Warner during WWII were all a part of the June 6, 1944 D-Day Invasion of Normandy, RIP all.
