As a young lieutenant in this outpost of the American forces, he was engaged in sever al battles against the rebellious and hostile Moros, and it was his exploits in one of these en gagements that gained for him the Medal of Honor. In the final fight against the notorious Moro bandit outlaw, Jikiri, who had ravaged the Sulu Sea for two years, Lieut. Ken nedy engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the trapped and de sperate Moros, and was severely wounded before the band was subdued. The Moros ha : d been chased down and had made their final stand in a large cave in the cra ter of an extinct volcano. After a two-day fight the American troops gained the rocks at the mouth of the cave. Young Ken nedy, with three other volun teers, forced an entrance into the cave to destroy or capture the 15 or 20 remaining members of the outlaw band. After heavy fighting at close quarters, the Moros made a rush for the mouth of the cave. In the ensuing melee all the bandits were either killed or captured and young Kennedy was severe ly wounded in the neck with a deep cut inflicted by a Native “barong”, a heavy bolo-type of cutting and slashing knife. So serious wah his wound that his life was despaired of and today he bears the scar from this en gagement. But the band of Jikiri was exterminated and peace a gain reigned on the Sulu Sea. For his World War service Gen. Kennedy holds, in addition to the Congressional Medal of Honor won in the Philippines, the American decorations of the Distinguished Service Medal, the Silver Star Citation, The Order of the Purple Heart, and the | Etoile Noir from the French Re i public.
