Bobby Hunter was born on July 2, 1924 in Texas. He joined the war as a replacement in August 1944, after the 501st PIR had jumped into Normandy. His first combat jump was into Holland where he, along with the rest of the 101st Airborne Division, jumped into the area near Eindhoven at the EERDE Dropzone, DZ ''A''. After finally being discharged in 1946, Bobby once again entered military service when he reenlisted to fight in Korea, where he had an exemplary career.
