The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross (Army Award) to Captain Rex E. Miller, United States Air Force, for heroism while participating in aerial flight as a Forward Air Controller in Kontum Province, Republic of Vietnam on 14 June 1967. On that date, Captain Miller received information that a Civilian Regular Defense Group company advised by United States Army Special Forces personnel had encountered elements of a North Vietnamese battalion in Kontum Province. Captain Miller, realizing the desperate situation the Civilian Irregular Defense Group and United States Special Forces troops, voluntarily braved zero visibility at the Kontum airfield, and took off in his 0-1 aircraft. Flying at treetop level, he assisted the ground force in breaking contact with the enemy and reorganizing. In so doing, Captain Miller’s aircraft drew heavy small arms fire from hostile positions, but courageously he continued flying at low level to assist the Civilian Irregular Defense Group forces until friendly ground forces arrived. The outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Captain Miller reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
