North Korean Document Translation Help!

[Stogieman]

This pair of documents came from one source in Sophia and I am reasonable certain they were to one man; despite the slight variation on birth date.

Can anyone help translate these for me?

Thanks!

First Document:

Certificate for the North Korean (DPRK) Foundation Memorial Medal awarded to Gil, Jeong Gyoon on 25 Aug 1988.

Born 28 feb 1939 in Pyeong An Book-Do, Gwang Shin Goon. Living in Pyeong An Book-Do, Gwang Shin-Goon at the time of the awarding

Occupation: Laborer

Second Document:

Certificate for an Air Force Medal (does not say which one) awarded to Lim, Chung Il awarded on 23 Apr 1953 and second time on 1 Feb 1960.

Born 28 Mar 1939 in Pyeong an Book-Do, Ui Ju-Goon, Gum Cheong-Ri

Occupation: Master Sergeant in the North Korean People's Army

Awarded the first time when he was only 14 years old and only a couple of months before the cease-fire took effect! Then looks like he stayed in the AF til at least 1960 and maybe then went into the Army? Hope this helps,
