I don't know anything about Master Sgt. John Kendall Dunlapp, except that he served in World War II, must have lived in California at some point but has lain in the Wasilla cemetery now for two-and-a-half months shy of 51 years.
I found his grave late yesterday afternoon after I pedaled my bike to the cemetery to see if I might find a picture appropriate for Memorial Day.
I googled his name, plus the rest of the information from his headstone, but could find nothing on him. I do not know where he served or what he did while he served. I do not know if he had a wife and children. I only know that he served in World War II, survived, came home, then lived for a decade-and-a-half before dying at a relatively young age and was then buried in Wasilla.
As for the flag, I believe it has been placed there by the cemetery itself, that such flags are placed upon the graves of all veterans.
Does anyone in Wasilla now remember Master Sgt. John Kendall Dunlap?
Somewhere, there must be people who remember him.
What was his story?
