The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting a Third Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Fourth Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant Wayne Adams Warner (AFSN: FR-70338), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-105 pilot near Hanoi, North Vietnam, on 19 November 1967. On that date, Captain Warner selflessly exposed himself to intense antiaircraft artillery fire, approximately thirty surface-to-air missile launches, and hostile aircraft activity, and delivered his ordnance with exceptional accuracy, aiding in the destruction of a vital concrete products plant. The results of his successful attack, while facing massive hostile antiaircraft defenses, seriously impaired the North Vietnamese ability to repair lines of communication. The professional competence, aerial skill and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Warner reflect great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Air Force.
