WW II vet honored with ceremony to present medals By Keith PurtellPhoenix Staff Writer Kunkleman also praised the medical center staff for the way they recently treated him for a broken hip.
“The VA is wonderful,” he said. “The physical therapy people and everyone else; they’re a good bunch of people.” Sherry McLaughlin wiped away tears as she described how she got the idea to restore her dad’s medals. “About 1 1/2 years ago he got very ill,” she said. “The second night in the ICU he told me about how his original Purple Heart was just laid on a table next to his bed when he was in a hospital.” Kunkleman’s son Bruce Kunkleman talked about his father’s “unlimited amount of jokes” and mental sharpness. “It was important to us to show him the appreciation he should have had,” he said. Kunkleman also has another daughter, Ann Cox, of Muskogee and another son, Dale, Jr. of Claremore.
