The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Kenneth James Fraser (AFSN: FR-3151946), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-105G Electronic Warfare Officer against an opposing armed force in Southeast Asia on 16 January 1972. On that date, while flying a fully armed F-105 aircraft in support of B-52 bombers, enemy surface-to-air missile sites began launching missiles from positions located within the target area. Captain Fraser correctly evaluated the threat and launched a successful counterattack against the hostile sites, suppressing the targets through use of air-to-ground missiles and allowing the friendly strike force to safely depart the target area. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Fraser reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.

On that date, Captain Fraser was in a flight of two F-105 aircraft on a surface to air missile and radar directed antiaircraft artillery suppression mission in support of a large strike force. When engaged by the hostile forces, he quickly analyzed the electronic spectrum, calculated the precise combat technique necessary to counter the imminent threat and directed the pilot to the optimum launch parameters for their retaliatory missiles, causing the opposing forces to direct their attention on his aircraft and allowing the strike force to successfully accomplish its mission and evacuate the threat area safely. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Fraser reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
