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 Major William Terrell Posey (AFSN: FR-55714), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a C-130 Aircraft Commander at An Hoa, Republic of Vietnam, on 12 December 1968. On that date, Major Posey was scheduled to fly an emergency re-supply mission of badly needed ammunition from DaNang Air Base to An Hoa. Due to the severe weather in the area, including a ceiling of only 2,000 feet at An Hoa, Major Posey, realizing the desperate need for the ammunition, elected to fly the mission at low level in the hostile environment. Prior to landing Major Posey’s aircraft received six hits from small arms fire, but with great courage and determination he continued and successfully completed the hazardous mission. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Major Posey reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force
