Military Service - Certificates and Awards 5 certificates awarded to Boita with regards to his military service. Notable signatories include Harry Truman and Gerald Ford. Of note, one certificate seems to have come from the Chinese Air Force and is written in Chinese. Per Google Translate's camera translate feature, a rough unverified translation has been created, and added to file.
