Jim, along with his cousin, Bobby Dunlap, were both Congressional Medal of Honor recipients. Jim admired his older cousin, Bobby. It is so very rare that two cousins would receive the Medal of Honor. They both grew up in West Central Illinois in a small town, Abingdon. The high school gymnasium is named after Bobby and the Auditorium is named after Jim. They are both members of our family and the loss will be greatly felt. There are few left of their generation still around our area. Great men, both.
