The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Ensign Marvin S. Broomhead (NSN: 0-538977), United States Navy, for personal heroism and extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as the pilot of an attack bomber on a strike against enemy railroad bridges in the Kumwon area of Korea on 8 February 1952. Participating in a vigorous and persistent glide bombing attack on an enemy bridge, Ensign Broomhead, his aircraft damaged by a bursting hail of anti-aircraft fire, pressed home his attack and continued to the destruction of said bridge before crash landing his aircraft behind enemy lines. His relentless fighting spirit and courageous devotion to duty maintained with complete disregard for his own personal safety, were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
