Kenneth Boehn is a combat veteran of the Vietnam War. He is the recipient of the Vietnam Service Medal, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. After his honorable service to his country, Boehm was hired by Grumman Aerospace Corporation in Long Island, New York, and was trained as a quality control inspector. He was proud to inspect what he says is still his favorite aircraft: the U.S. Navy’s F-14 Tomcat. Boehm and his wife of 35 years, Eileen, moved to Palm Coast in 1998, where Boehm continued to work for Northrup Grumman in Saint Augustine. Now retired, Boehm likes to enjoy the fruits of his labor and the benefit of being able to take walks at Flagler Beach with his Golden Retriever.
