The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Quartermaster Roswell L. C. Tice, United States Navy, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service in the line of his profession at the Naval Air Station, Wexford, Ireland. Quartermaster Tice was a wonderful leader and worker. Being in charge of hangar mechanics, he is largely responsible for the “no accident,” “no casualty list” of operations. Many times he worked during rain and gale at night in the open to keep machines in excellent condition.
