As a highly decorated Naval Officer, Haffner was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, four individual Air Medals, five Strike Flight Air Medals, and three Navy Commendation Medals for bold initiative, uncommon valor and loyal devotion to duty in direct combat. His other awards include the Meritorious Service Medal, four Navy Commendation Medals (seven total awards, three with Combat "V"), Navy Achievement Medal, as well as numerous other unit, expeditionary and individual awards.
