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 First Lieutenant Garvin A. Peters, United States Air Force, for heroism and extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight during a strafing attack against tanks of the hostile forces near Seoul, Korea, 2 July 1950. First Lieutenant Peters was severely wounded by shrapnel from hostile anti-aircraft fire. First Lieutenant Peters, with all of his flying instruments and throttle quadrant shot away and in great pain due to a fractured left wrist and both hands torn with shrapnel wounds, did pilot his F-82G aircraft in a highly superior manner and returned this aircraft to its home station. By his skillful flying under these hazardous conditions, he did save his radar observer’s life and the aircraft.
