From the August 26, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"From somewhere in the Pacific comes word that Marine Pfc Lawrence Braser and his brother, Marine Pfc Roy Braser, have seen a lot more of enemy action than they have of each other during the past two years.
"Recently the tide turned and for several days the brothers had an opportunity to swap yarns and catch up on home town news during Lawrence's visit to an undisclosed Pacific spot while enroute to another Pacific base."
Roy Braser died November 25, 2007 was born July 22, 1922, the son of Ida and Valey Braser. He was discharged from the Marines in 1945 and went on to become owner and cofounder of Downtown Shoes in Sycamore, Illinois.
He was preceded in death by his brother Lawrence. Mr. Braser was buried at Lutheran Cemetery in Hinckley. Lawrence Braser ( 23 September 1925-26 May 1995) is also buried there.
