Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Warrant Officer Larry C. Green for heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary action above and beyond the call of duty. Warrant Officer Green distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions while serving as the Aircraft Commander of a utility helicopter during a mission to extract the wounded crew of a downed light observation helicopter. Despite mountainous terrain and jungle, he maneuvered his aircraft into the pick-up zone. While exposed to intense enemy fire, he hovered his aircraft in the pick-up zone while the wounded pilot was being placed on a stretcher. He then flew the pilot to safety, but returned to the area to extract the remaining crewmember. Through his courageous actions the mission was successfully completed. His devotion to duty and outstanding flying ability were in the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.
