The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Airman’s Medal to Airman First Class Johnny Paul Moon (AFSN: AF-14919677), United States Air Force, for heroism involving voluntary risk of life at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, on 18 May 1967. On that date, while refueling a jet reconnaissance aircraft, Airman Moon observed a fire in the refueling truck and took action to avert a disaster, by immediately re-positioning the fuel truck’s fuel control levers, ordering the ground crew to disconnect the refueling hose, and moving the burning fuel truck to a safe distance from the aircraft. By his courageous action and humanitarian regard for his fellowman, Airman Moon has reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
