The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Louis Herbert Anderson (MCSN: 0-21159), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight in the Bismarck Archipelago Islands Area from 26 April 19844 to 14 July 1944. Captain Anderson 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.
