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 Major Frank Raymond Fischl, Jr. (AFSN: FR-22171), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-4C Aircraft Commander over North Vietnam, on 14 August 1966. On that date, Major Fischl was in a flight executed against a vital Petroleum-Oils-Lubricants storage area. Despite maneuvering to avoid several hostile missiles, and in the face of intense ground fire, Major Fischl disregarded his own personal safety and pressed an attack which produced several large secondary explosions resulting in destruction of the target. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Major Fischl reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
