The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross (Posthumously) to Warrant Officer One (WO-1) Steven Joseph Greenlee, United States Army, for heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary action above and beyond the call of duty on 2 May 1970 while serving as a pilot with the Air Cavalry Troop, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, in the Republic of Vietnam. On this date while flying a visual reconnaissance mission near the Cambodian border Warrant Officer Greenlee’s light observation helicopter began to receive intense enemy ground fire. Immediately he began placing suppressive fire upon the enemy positions, attempting to eliminate them. Despite the deadly barrage directed at the craft, Warrant Officer Greenlee courageously attempted to save the aircraft and the lives of his fellow crew members by forfeiting his. Warrant Officer Greenlee’s actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.
