The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross to Major Hansel W. Turley, Jr. (AFSN: FV-2228236), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-105 Pilot over North Vietnam on 21 June 1966. On that date, Major Turley flew his F-105 in support of a combat mission on a petroleum storage depot deep in hostile territory. Despite intense hostile ground fire, surface-to-air missile threats and MiG aircraft over the target, Major Turley pressed his attack to score direct hits on the petroleum storage tanks. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Major Turley reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
