The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting a Second Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Third Award of the Silver Star to Captain George A. Miklos (AFSN: FR-63074), United States Air Force, for gallantry in connection with military operations against an opposing armed force while serving with the 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron, near Hanoi, North Vietnam, on 6 November 1967. On that date, Captain Miklos, while flying as an F-105F Electronic Warfare Officer, completely suppressed an active surface-to-air missile threat allowing the main fighter-bomber force to successfully neutralize an important transformer station. Although his aircraft sustained damage from a direct hit from anti-aircraft fire, Captain Miklos courageously continued his dive bomb run to completely destroy the active hostile flak site defending a mobile surface-to-air missile site. By his gallantry and devotion to duty, Captain Miklos has reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
