View all 9 ReflectionsI went through BCT at Ft Dix and MP School at Ft McClellan with Bruce. Bruce was a Stripes for Skills entry into the US Army and therefore was a Squad Leader with his own room in BCT. Bruce kinda took me and a friend Joseph Santoro under his guidance when he could. During the few breaks, the 3 of us were together. Bruce spoke highly of his Mom and how he missed her but did not miss NYC. While in MWD School at Lackland AFB Joe & I were speaking fondly of Bruce with an MP from White Sands and he informed of Bruces Death... It hit us hard. Bruce was FULL of life and glad to be serving the country. Joe has said it and I say it... We'll always remember you, Brother...
