CORAL SPRINGS, FLORIDA – Today, Congressman Jared Moskowitz (D-Florida) presented three service medals to Kenneth Bailey, a 90-year-old Coconut Creek resident, who was honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force in 1956 and never received the medals to which he was entitled. For over 60 years, Bailey went without proper recognition from the U.S. Air Force. 

The medals Moskowitz helped award to Bailey are:

  • Occupation Medal WWII (Germany)
  • Air Force Good Conduct Medal
  • National Defense Service Medal

“In his years in the Air Force, Kenneth represented the best of what this country is all about. He was hard-working and committed, but also kind and generous. It was my office’s honor to ensure Kenneth receives the recognition he deserves for his years of courageous service,” said Moskowitz.
