The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant Guy O. Badger (MCSN: 0-46820), United States Marine Corps, for heroism while participating in aerial flight as pilot of a Fighter aircraft against the enemy over Korea on 10 August 1951. First Lieutenant Badger, as section leader of a four plane flight, flew through adverse weather and over mountainous terrain on a close air support mission in the area of Komisong-ni. In the face of intense enemy ground fire, he pressed home a series of napalm, rocket and strafing attacks. The airborne controller confirmed the accuracy of this strike and reported that it destroyed enemy supplies, inflicted one hundred and seventy enemy casualties and completely neutralized numerous enemy machine guns in the area. First Lieutenant Badger’s superb airmanship, aggressive spirit and courageous action were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
