The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant Warren J. Beyes (MCSN: 0-37321), United States Marine Corps, for heroism while participating in aerial flight as a pilot attached to a Marine All-Weather Fighter Squadron, from 1 September 1950 to 9 December 1950. First Lieutenant Beyes successfully completed his first through thirty-fifth combat mission against the enemy over Korea, where enemy fire was either received or expected. Most of these flights were at night in extremely adverse weather conditions and mountainous terrain. By his skillful airmanship, he inflicted great damage on concentrations of enemy vehicles, material and personnel. First Lieutenant Beyes’ conduct throughout was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
