"For distinguished and meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flight against the enemy in operations against the Ploesti Oil Refineries of Roumania on 1 August, 1943. These men of the 344th Bombarbadment Squadron, 98th Bombardment Group who took part in one of the most spectacular, daring and destructive raids ever attempted, all contributed importantly to the succesful completion of the task. Flying in the heavily fortified target area with heavy bombardment aircraft, they bombed and strafed their objectives with enormously damaging effect. The bravery, skill, and fighting spirit these men showed under conditions of extraordinary difficulty and peril were such as to serve as a lasting exxample of valor in action."
