Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Dale B Chisamore for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a Navigator in Southeast Asia on 26 August 1968. On that date, Captain Chisamore's mission was to fly to Katum, Republic of Vietnam and perform Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System drop of vitally needed supplies for the defenders. Under adverse weather conditions and heavy anti-aircraft fire, Captain Chisamore and his crew delivered seventeen thousand pounds of supplies without which the position of the defenders of Katum would have been untenable. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Chisamore reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
