The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Aviation Radioman Second Class Robert Lee Brown (NSN: 8847328), United States Naval Reserve, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight in the Pacific Area from 25 March 1945 to 29 April 1945. Aviation Radioman Second Class Brown 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.
