My Great Uncle Bruce
This is a picture of my great uncle Bruce and an example of his incredible skills as an artist. This man is a hero and an inspiration to my family nearly 65 years after his death during WWII. He was an incredible son to my great-grandmother and a wonderful brother to his three sisters. He worked as a commercial artist before enlisting and left our family with beautiful paintings, drawings, ads and letters that will be cherished for many more years. His life was a short 26 years but he left a legacy through his art, his letters and his love and dedication for his country. He loved his family, his three sisters and his mother, and I think by serving and protecting his country, he felt he was serving and protecting them. His sisters, in a way, have done their part by telling his story and keeping his memory alive. I am inspired by his work and incredible ability, but more than that, his loyalty to his family and to fighting the good fight.
