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 Technical Sergeant Harrel W. Fuller (ASN: 18183278), United States Army Air Forces, for heroism while participating in aerial flight as aerial engineer in a B-24 type aircraft on 16 August 1944. When approaching a heavily defended target at Dessau, Germany, Sergeant fuller’s aircraft received severe damage from enemy fighter attacks and the order was given to bail out. Upon discovering that the co-pilot’s parachute had been damaged by enemy action, Sergeant Fuller, with complete disregard for his personal safety, volunteered to carry the co–pilot on his back. The exceptional courage and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Sergeant Fuller on this occasion reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
