The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Lieutenant Norman Kramer Barrett (NSN: 0-251052), United States Navy, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight during the period 21 January to 9 March 1944 in the Pacific Area. Lieutenant Barrett 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.
