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 First Lieutenant Glenn Everett Wasson (AFSN: FR-21904), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight on the night of 1 September 1952, as Navigator-Bombardier of a B-26 attack bomber, 3d Bombardment Wing (L), FIFTH Air Force. Lieutenant Wasson displayed outstanding airmanship and navigational skill while vectoring his bomber on armed reconnaissance over the enemy’s main supply route between Kwalsen and Sinchon, North Korea. A large convoy was sighted and immediately brought under attack. Despite intense and accurate hostile anti-aircraft fire which damaged the aircraft, Lieutenant Wasson, utilizing superior bombing skill, scored several direct hits on three lucrative targets and further directed the pilot on a series of glide bombing passes. These aggressive attacks resulted in the destruction of four enemy vehicles by fire and explosion, thereby depriving the enemy of vitally needed supplies and equipment. By his high skill, courage and devotion to duty, Lieutenant Wasson has reflected credit upon himself, his organization and the United States Air Force.
