by George Kirk Obituary, Death – When we learnt that yet another World War II hero who had been in the armed services and died after having fought in the war, it came as a shock to us. This war hero had been a member of the armed forces. A unfortunate and unanticipated turn of events has occurred with the loss of George Kirk. After completing his training at the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi, he joined the United States Navy and served as a pilot throughout the entirety of World War II.
He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service. In recognition of his service, the Distinguished Flying Cross was bestowed upon him. When he was engaged in the Pacific Theater of Operations, which extended all the way from Iwo Jima to the Philippines, he was given the responsibility of flying F6F Hellcats on the aircraft carrier Bunker Hill. In this capacity, he was able to put his piloting skills to good use. During this period, he served in the Pacific Theater of Operations as a member of the military.
During the course of the war, it was reported that Captain Kirk was responsible for bringing down seven Japanese Zeros (carrier-based fighter aircraft). We wanted to show our appreciation for his service, so we decided to present him with not one but two of the most distinguished flying crosses we could find. These crosses are among the most prestigious in the world. George Kirk reportedly lived to reach 101 years old, as indicated by the documents that were maintained by the government.
