The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting a Second Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Third Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross with Combat “V” to Captain Jeffrey Samuel Feinstein, United States Air Force, for heroism while participating in aerial flight as an F-4D Weapon Systems Officer the 13th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 388th Tactical Fighter Wing, Korat Royal Thai Air Base, Thailand, in action in Southeast Asia on 9 June 1972. On that date, Captain Feinstein was leading a flight of four F-4 tactical fighter aircraft on a combat air patrol mission in support of a strike force over North Vietnam, when two hostile aircraft threatened to disrupt the strike force. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Captain Feinstein pursued both and probably destroyed one of the hostile aircraft, allowing the strike force to accomplish its important mission, and led his flight home safely. The outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Captain Feinstein reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
