The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Chief Radioman Roy E. Anderson (NSN: 2342336), United States Navy, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight from 21 July to 26 July 1943. Chief Anderson 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.
