NEW GAME - guess the photo

No takers?

Pvt. Eddie Slovik (WWII)

The only American soldier to be court-martialled and executed for desertion since the American Civil War.

 

Dennis Byrd

The only Wolfpack defensive player to have his jersey retired. A legend.

 

Exellent and that was quick.

Coach Byrd was my High School football coach at Wake Forest-Rolesville in the mid-70's. I played offensive guard and linebacker under him.

He used to love to dove hunt in the fields around my house.

Sadly he died at the age of 63 on July 23, 2010
