    The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Lieutenant Eugene A.

During the period from 12 March 1945 to 10 July 1945, he participated in twenty flights in an active combat area where enemy anti-aircraft fire was expected to be effective and enemy aircraft patrols usually occur. His conduct throughout has distinguished him among those performing duties of the same character.
