Jack Kingston

Today Congressman Kingston had the honor to present military awards and medals to the family of Elton Tucker, a World War II veteran who sadly passed away in 2000. Upon presenting the awards, Congressman Kingston remarked that Americans were able to enjoy the freedoms they do thanks to veterans such as Mr. Tucker. The Bronze Star, Purple Hearts and Good Conduct Medal were among the many honors bestowed upon Mr. Tucker who was only 18 years old when he enlisted in the Army and fought with the 34th Infantry “Red Bull” Division in Italy. Mr. Tucker’s son, Tommy Tucker, had asked Congressman Kingston’s office for assistance in obtaining the medals for his father.
