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 Chief Warrant Officer Three (CW-3) Ben R. Games, United States Army, for heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary action above and beyond the call of duty in the Republic of Vietnam. Chief Warrant Officer Games distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous action on 8 November 1969 near Landing Zone Vivian, Republic of Vietnam. When on approach to the Landing Zone, the aircraft was struck by enemy fire which caused both engines to fail and ignited a fire. In spite of the hazardous conditions, he was able to cut off the fuel flow and assist the pilot in directing the craft away from populated areas. Although the ship was engulfed in flames, he remained on board until the crew had been evacuated. His outstanding flying ability and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
