Distinguished flying Cross Citation - 31 August 1968
Citation to accompany the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross to Jose C. Santos
"First Lieutenant Jose C. Santos distinguished himself by heroism while participating in aerial flight as an F-4C pilot near Bien Thuy, Republic of Vietnam on 31 August 1968. On that date, Lieutenant Santos participated in a close air support mission in the relief of allied forces engaged by hostile forces. Despite low ceiling, close proximity of friendly troops and heavy hostile automatic weapons fire, Lieutenant Santos attacked the hostile force and broke them out into the open enabling the allied forces to sweep the area. The outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Lieutenant Santos reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force."
Thank you for your courage, service, and sacrifice Lt. Santos. I am sure there are many men still here today because of what you did on 31 August 1968. You will never be forgotten!
