Bruce
Dunlap
is in his late 20s and has seen and done things he
said will change him forever. He is a member of the Kansas National Guard.
During his nine-month service in Iraq, Dunlap suffered severe injuries when an
explosive device hit the vehicle in which he was riding. Bleeding from an
arterial wound, Dunlap said he was clinically dead at the scene of the explosion
before a shot of adrenaline and cardiopulmonary resuscitation revived him.
Medics then flew him to a hospital in nearby Baghdad. Dunlap said what happened
is simply part of his job description.
"As a soldier, you are almost constantly in harm's way," he said. "It's just
part of the job. You just have to handle things one day and one mission at a
time. "Once stabilized, Dunlap was flown to the United States, where he has
undergone surgeries and physical therapy at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for
the last four months. His injuries include broken bones in his arm, hand and
knee; tissue damage; and the loss of parts of several digits. However, he said
he hopes for a nearly complete recovery, thanks to the medical attention he has
received. In a ceremony on March 30,2007, President Bush
awarded Dunlap a Purple Heart for his service. He also was given a medal
for good conduct and four medals for service in Iraq.
"Reading the citations for the medal brings a few tears to my eyes," he said. "I
think of all the fallen soldiers that gave their lives for the medal. I just
gave a little bit for it, and maybe I can use that to continue to help other
people through."
His stepmother, Leta Dunlap, said Bruce's family, which has a strong military
history, was supportive of his decision to join the National Guard and hopeful
about the opportunities it could provide. "We were the most proud of his courage
to face his mobilization and his duties without fear," she said. "He had a job
to do and a mission to complete, and he never wavered. "After his time at Walter
Reed, Dunlap returned home to Kansas City, Mo. Even after coming home, he said
some memories of his service still haunt him. "You look at everything
differently afterward," he said. "It's as if a whole new world has opened up,
and you can never close that door again once it's opened."

Major Alastair Dunlop, who has died aged 85, was awarded the MC and Bar while serving with the Bombay Grenadiers in the Burma campaign. in WWII.
On February 1
1945, A Company 3rd Battalion 4th Bombay Grenadiers, commanded by Dunlop, then a
major, dug in across
the Irrawaddy from Kyaukmyaung and held the bridgehead. During the subsequent
advance to relieve Yeshin, the company was protecting a squadron of the 150th
Regiment Royal Armoured Corps when the Japanese managed to get within range of
the tanks and inflicted heavy casualties.
At one point, Dunlop
seized a Bren gun from a wounded man and, without any regard for his own safety,
engaged the enemy while the casualties were evacuated; not a single Japanese was
able to close with the tanks and destroy them. For his gallantry and skilful
handling of his company, he was awarded an immediate MC.
