The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant George Alan Rose (AFSN: FR-3157557), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-4C Pilot in Southeast Asia on 11 November 1966. On that date, Lieutenant Rose was scrambled on two occasions from the F-4C alert area in response to friendly forces in heavy contact with determined hostile forces. Each scramble required Lieutenant Rose to expend his ordnance within fifty meters of friendly positions. Displaying exceptional pilot skill and disregarding personal safety, Lieutenant Rose struck time after time with pin-point accuracy to relieve the beleaguered friendly forces. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Lieutenant Rose reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
