The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting a Second Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Third Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross to Major (Infantry) Anthony Rozga (ASN: 0-421653), United States Army, for heroism while participating in aerial flight in Kyushu, Japan, on 29 October 1949. When a soldier was wounded by a flying shell fragment while on maneuvers, Major Rozga immediately volunteered to fly the soldier to a station hospital at Kyushu, through a predicted storm and over an unmarked route across several mountain ranges during darkness. Despite strong headwinds and extremely unfavorable flying conditions, he was successful in getting within a few miles of his destination before being forced to land because of the lack of gasoline. While landing in what he thought was an open area, the airplane struck a telephone line. Nevertheless, by skillful maneuvering, Major Rozga landed without injury to himself or his patient, but the aircraft was wrecked beyond repair. His technical ability and willingness to undertake an extremely dangerous mission were directly responsible for saving the soldier’s life. Major Rozga’s courageous action and devotion to duty reflect great credit on himself and the military service.
