The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pleasure in presenting a Third Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Fourth Award of the Silver Star to Captain Jeffrey Samuel Feinstein, United States Air Force, for gallantry in connection with military operations against an opposing armed force while serving as an F-4D Weapon Systems Officer in the 13th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 388th Tactical Fighter Wing, Korat Royal Thai Air Base, Thailand, in action in Southeast Asia, on 29 July 1972. On that date, Captain Feinstein, an F-4D Weapon Systems Officer, led a flight of four F-4 tactical fighter aircraft on a MiG Combat Air Patrol to protect strike aircraft attacking targets northeast of Hanoi, North Vietnam. While braving extremely heavy and accurate anti-aircraft fire, Captain Feinstein not only provided protection for the strike aircraft but also successfully engaged and shot down one of the harassing hostile MiG aircraft. By his gallantry and devotion to duty Captain Feinstein reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
