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 Teddy J. Lind, United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as navigator of a C-130 aircraft at Nhon Co, Republic of Vietnam, on 13 May 1966. On that date, Captain Lind flew five extremely hazardous missions into a primitive jungle airstrip through adverse weather conditions, to provide the emergency resupply of United States Army personnel then in battle with hostile forces. Captain Lind, with utter disregard for his personal safety, and displaying consummate airmanship, calmly navigated at extremely low altitudes through mountainous terrain, while constantly exposed to hostile fire. Captain Lind’s precise navigation to the isolated airfield was critical to the successful delivery of the vitally needed ammunition and supplies. The professional competence, aerial skill and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Lind reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
