Bill Vegso of Charlotte, private first class who served with the 65th infantry in World War II, with his M1 Carbine slung over one shoulder, and Browning M1919 .30 machine gun on the other. The photo was taken in March of 1945, near Saarlautern, Germany. Bill Vegso returned to the US after the war. He worked for the Picatinny Arsenal Facility and Research Center as a foreman. Bill passed away on July 4, 2008. He was 87 years old. Lest We Forget. Original description and photo sourced from the US National Archives and Records Administration. I found it online in Facebook on a wonderful page called "WW II uncovered."
