the Bronze Star and was pro-
NOTED on the field from the rank
of sergeant on March l3, at a

won his dual bars for valor in
Drawing heavy anti-aircraft and
fighter opposition while land
ing reinforcements which broke
the seige Of Bastogne.
At the time of the serious
German break through into AL
Tide lines, heroic American
ground forces blockaded them
selves in Bastogne and delivered
the historic answer, Nuts" to
a German commander formal
demand for surrender.
Low on food, medical sup
plies and ammunition, they
stuck TO their guns despite in
creased enemy pressure, and
the value of their last stand
was tremendous from a military
standpoint, because they were
keeping several German divis-
ions busy which otherwise could
have been turned on the disor-
dered Allies.
The relief of this heroic gar
rison was a prime necessity.
Capt. Roth, plotting a PAT
transport, succeeded in Drawing
German opposition to bring air
borne troops into Bastogne.

Roth entered the army while a

 The future, he said, will bring planes and guided missiles of i'm mense range and great accuracy travelling at supersonic speeds.
