Clinton Truman Kunze, age 29 of Rosebud, TX died Thursday July 26, 2012. Clinton was born November 27, 1982 in Rosebud, the son of Curtis Kunze and Lynda Sells. Clinton brought his first bicycle home on the bus from school. He had cotton-top hair like his daddy, which was always singed in the winter from standing so close to the space heater. He loved the Dallas Cowboys. Clinton always wanted to help people, so he joined the army. Clinton was a Sergeant. He was the recipient of numerous awards; He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, the Meritorious Unit Citation, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, The Iraqi Campaign Medal Campaign Star, the Global War on Terrorism Expedition Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Ribbon, and the Combat Action Badge.
