Albritton (ASN: 0-993286), United States Army, for extraordinary achievement while participating as Senior Jumpmaster in aerial flight over hostile territory during a nighttime, highly classified mission of critical importance to the United Nations Forces engaged in ground combat in Korea.

Lieutenant Albritton reflects great credit upon himself, the United States Army, and the United States Air Force.
