Bill Kunkle was 16 years old in 1941. Kunkle wanted to serve in the military so badly that he altered his birth certificate, making a “5″ look like a “3,” as if, born in 1923, he would appear to be 18 instead of 16.
He was a medic that treated the worst of the worst after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Kunkle’s story reminds us to never forget the men and women who have selflessly served this country, so we can enjoy the freedoms they sacrificed for.
