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.
