The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Master Sergeant Jack A. Beauchamp (MCSN: 342112), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight in the Bismarck Archipelago Islands area from 7 February to 10 May 1944. Master Sergeant Beauchamp completed twenty flights in a combat area where enemy anti-aircraft fire was expected to be effective or where enemy aircraft patrols usually occurred. His conduct throughout has distinguished him among those performing duties of the same character.
