The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross (Posthumously) to Lieutenant Daniel Hagan Moran, Jr. (NSN: 0-669340), United States Navy, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a Pilot on 15 January 1967, in an attack squadron during a strike on an enemy rail yard in North Vietnam. Lieutenant Moran expertly executed a dive-bombing run which resulted in heavy damage to the target. Upon his return to his home carrier, he volunteered for a re-strike at the same target later that day. Although hampered by low visibility and heavy enemy defenses, he carried out a devastating attack which resulted in additional destruction of enemy supplies.
