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 Captain Wayne J. Jones, United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an AC-47 Pilot near DaNang, Republic of Vietnam on 4 March 1968. On that date, Marble Mountain Air Station five miles southeast of DaNang Air Base came under hostile rocket attack from positions approximately six miles to the southwest. Captain Jones’ timely and professional reaction to the attack was credited with halting the attack, disrupting the hostile battle plan, destroying much of the hostile forces’ war waging materials inflicting heavy casualties on the attacking personnel and eliminating further attack threat to the friendly forces and materials of Marble Mountain Air Station. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Jones reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
