The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Technical Sergeant Lewis E. Fry, United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a C-7A Fight Engineer in Southeast Asia on 28 January 1968. On that date, Sergeant Fry participated in three flights into the Khe Sanh Air Base, which had been surrounded by hostile forces for several weeks. Sergeant Fry’s aircraft received intense automatic weapons fire on all three sides during approaches and departures that day. Once on the ground, Sergeant Fry worked with great speed and efficiency in offloading the supplies which he had carried in and then secured the aircraft for takeoff. The complete disregard for his own personal safety enabled Sergeant Fry to aid in keeping an orderly flow of supplies into Khe Sanh. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Sergeant Fry reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
