The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross (Posthumously) to Seaman First Class Robert D. Buscher (NSN: 6013840), United States Naval Reserve, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight in the vicinity of China fro 18 February 1945 to 24 May 1945. Seaman First Class Buscher 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.
