This Month in History:
Private First Class Phillip Coon, a decorated World War II veteran who survived the infamous Bataan Death March, was the Honoree during Sapulpa Freedom Parade in 2003. Coon was part of the Bataan Death March in April 1942, when a captured Allied force of 75,000 were marched more than 60 miles in sweltering jungle heat to Japanese prison camps. An estimated 21,000 died en route. Coon, a Sapulpa native and Muscogee (Creek) Native American, died in 2014.
