Biography

Henry Lee Dunlap (March 22, 1922 – May 27, 2015) was a U.S. American soldier and Olympic biathlete.

Dunlap was born in Cleburne, Texas. He served in the 38th Regimental Combat Team, Colorado. At the age of 25, in the rank of a private, he participated as member of the military patrol team at the 1948 Winter Olympics. The U.S. military patrol squad was led by First Lieutenant Donald Weihs, who broke his ski after the team completed more than three-quarters of the 21.5-mile course. Weihs had to trample the last six miles with it. The team placed eighth of eight.
