Offering Thanks to Ozone Pk. Vet

By Posted on

City Council Member Eric Ulrich, Chairman of the City Council Veterans Committee, presented a Good Conduct Medal and City Council Citation to Ozone Park resident, Edward Boes, 79, a Korean War veteran who joined the Navy at the age of 17. He served as an airsdale, station policeman and trained Navy cadets on flying during inclement weather. After some work with the military and National Personnel Records Center, Ulrich’s office obtained a replacement Good Conduct medal from the United States Navy. “Ed Boes is an American patriot and a pillar of the community. This award recognizes his exemplary service to our country and is only a small token of appreciation for all that he has done on our behalf. I am proud to know him personally and consider it an honor to present him with this commendation,” said Ulrich.
