Greaves (AFSN: FR-25096), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-4c Pilot in aerial flight over Southeast Asia on 10 March 1967.

Despite the aggressive maneuvering required to avoid intense, tracking anti-aircraft artillery, Major Greaves’ flight provided continuous air cover for the reconnaissance aircraft throughout the successful mission. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Major Greaves reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
