Military Bio: During World War II, Robert L. Dunlap of Port Richey, Florida, served as a Sergeant in the US Army's 28th Division. At only 21 years of age, Robert was captured by the Germans in Oren Belguim on December 17, 1944. For the next four months, Robert survived a series of stunning events at German camps 1XB, 1XA. Forced to march day and night, Robert and the other prisoners, became human targets for the German soldiers. In addition to this, young Germans who saw the prisoners wasted no time in stoning them. During many days and nights, Robert, was imprisoned in box cars that Allied planes unknowingly bombed. Despite these traumas, Robert survived and received many medals including the Purple Heart, the Bronze Medal, the Good Conduct (medal?) as well as many others. Following the war, Robert worked for the GM Corporation, building the automobiles we drive today. |
