Footnote: The decorations included represent a range of United States military commendations, service awards, and commemorative pieces spanning the interwar period through the Cold War era. Notable among them are the Bronze Star Medal, established in 1944 and awarded for heroic or meritorious achievement in a combat zone, and the Air Medal, created in 1942 to recognize meritorious achievement in aerial flight. The presence of the USAAF Flight Surgeon’s Badge reflects pre-1947 Army Air Forces insignia prior to the establishment of the independent United States Air Force, while the United Nations Force in Cyprus Medal signifies multinational peacekeeping service beginning in 1964.
