Borgstrom Brothers (Family)
The Borgstrom brothers were four American siblings, including twin brothers, killed over a six-month period during World War II. They were the sons of Alben and Gunda Borgstrom of Thatcher, Utah. The brothers were: LeRoy Elmer Borgstrom, 30 (born April 30, 1914, died June 22, 1944 in Italy), U.S. Army; Clyde Eugene Borgstrom, 28 (born February 15, 1916, died March 17, 1944 in Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands), U.S. Marine Corps; Rolon Day Borgstrom, 19 (born May 5, 1925, died August 8, 1944 in Yaxham, England), U.S. Army Air Forces; and Rulon Jay Borgstrom, 19 (born May 5, 1925, died August 25, 1944 in France), U.S. Army.
Alben and Gunda Borgstrom were the parents of ten children, seven of whom were boys. In 1921, their son Veran died from a ruptured appendix at the age of ten. The other six boys attended Bear River High School in Garland, Utah. After the U.S. entered the war, five of the remaining brothers enlisted or were drafted into the military: Boyd, LeRoy, Clyde, Rolon Day, and Rulon Jay Borgstrom.
