The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to First Lieutenant Warren G. Brown (AFSN: AO-753603), United States Air Force, for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United Nations on 18 February 1952 as Flight Leader of two F-51 type aircraft, 39th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, 51st Fighter-Interceptor Group, FIFTH Air Force. Lieutenant Brown displayed outstanding airmanship and courage when his flight was diverted from its primary mission to relieve another flight of United Nations aircraft in setting up a protective cover over a downed United Nations pilot. After numerous passes over the area, Lieutenant Brown’s wingman abandoned his aircraft after he had received a direct hit, whereupon Lieutenant Brown began a one-man assault on enemy gun positions which were hampering rescue attempts. Although extremely heavy fire prevented the rescue of the downed pilot, and despite major damage to his aircraft, Lieutenant brown left the area only after completely destroying three anti-aircraft position, thus demonstrating courage beyond the call of duty in the face of enemy attack. By his gallantry and devotion to duty, Lieutenant Brown brought great credit upon himself, the FAR EAST Air Forces, and the United States Air Force.
