On that date, Major Robinson led a flight of three fighter-bombers against a heavily fortified hostile mortar and rocket battery engaged in shelling nearby allied military and civilian positions. Despite intense hostile ground fire and marginal weather conditions, Major Robinson successfully attacked the positions, eliminating the hostile threat and thereby saving the lives of countless friendly military and civilian personnel. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Major Robinson reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Paul Kurtz Robinson, Jr. (AFSN: FR-64049), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-100 Forward Air Controller of the 308th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Tuy Hoa Air Base, South Vietnam, operating over North Vietnam on 20 March 1968. On that date, Captain Robinson located and directed a fighter strike against one of the most lucrative vehicle convoys ever sighted in North Vietnam. He stopped the movement of numerous vehicles with strafing passes and thwarted the attempts by hostile forces to move the vehicles. He repeatedly descended to low altitude through intense hostile ground fire to find and mark lucrative groups of vehicles. His courageous tactics and professional direction of the strike flights dealt the hostile forces a severe blow in their re-supply efforts. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Robinson reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
