The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Ensign Roger W. Adam (NSN: 368731), United States Navy, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight from 29 March 1945 to 3 August 1945. Ensign Adam completed twenty flights in a combat area where enemy anti-aircraft fire was expected to be effective or where enemy aircraft patrols usually occurred. His conduct throughout has distinguished him among those performing duties of the same character.
