The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant Jack H. Adam (MCSN: 0-36693), United States Marine Corps, for heroism while participating in aerial flights over enemy territory from 1 October 1950 to 12 January 1951. Serving as a Pilot with the FIRST Marine Air Wing Photographic Unit, First Lieutenant Adam successfully completed flying more than one flight each day against the enemy over Korea where enemy anti-aircraft fire was either received or expected. His skilled airmanship and devotion to duty contributed materially to the success of our ground forces during this critical period. His actions throughout were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
