Dunlap, Bob (Army Veteran - 2011)
Interviewing Bob Dunlap is Zabrina Mason and she is a Junior member of the Auxiliary Unit 118.
Bob was in the Army and enlisted for one year, but Pearl Harbor attacks kept him in another four years.
Bob enlisted in 1941 and ended his tour of duty in 1946. He did serve during hostile times during World War II. He attended boot camp in Oklahoma. An interesting story was attending a meeting where personal spoken to be [sic] was the Pope at the Vatican.
Bob was awarded several (last captain) bronze star medals. He did several jobs as assigned. He served in the U.S. and felt as a normal participant. Bob does not communicate with comrades. He did not do intense fighting but was scared at times. [He] does not dream of those days,
The fun part for Bob was participating in non-confrontational activities. Bob is a Legion member because he was invited and chose to belong.
This is the 17th interview. The Junior members of the Auxiliary are running out of willing veterans that would like to be interviewed. If you want to be interviewed, call 715-669-3232. Thank you, veterans, for all you have done.
