16-297 Garand Picture of the Day - Gas Trap - New York Private Roy Bruch
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Wonder what happened to Roy?
Is he Roy E. Bruch that was awarded the silver star,in 1944 as a Sergeant, and then as a Staff Sergeant was awarded a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Silver Star for gallantry in action in 1945?
Always interesting to see what happened to these men.

He went all the way through the war it seems. Not that many can claim that.
