The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross to Colonel Bruce Ward Carr (AFSN: FR-16522/ASN: 0-887280), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-100 pilot, 20 miles northeast of Saigon, Republic of Vietnam, on 11 March 1969. On that date, Colonel Carr flew in support of friendly ground forces in close contact with a hostile force. In spite of extremely poor visibility and the absolute necessity for accuracy caused by the close proximity of the friendly force to the target, Colonel Carr placed all his ordnance exactly on target, resulting in heavy losses to the hostile troops and forcing their retreat. The professional competence, aerial skill and devotion to duty displayed by Colonel Carr reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
