Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Airman First Class Glenn L. Fuller for extraordinary achievement and outstanding airmanship while participating in aerial flight on 21 March 1953 as Weather Observer on an unarmed, unescorted RB-26 type aircraft of the 6166th Air Weather Reconnaissance Flight, Fifth Air Force, on a daylight weather reconnaissance mission deep in enemy-held North Korea. Despite a threatened attack by enemy fighter-type aircraft near the North Korean city of Sariwon and intense fire from enemy automatic anti-aircraft weapons north of Kaesong, Airman Fuller aided materially in the directing of successful evasive action from the enemy fire and made weather observations at each of the points along the briefed route. The weather data provided Fifth Air Force, by this mission, proved of greatest assistance in the planning and execution of effective air strikes against enemy targets. By his high personal courage and devotion to duty Airman Fuller has brought great credit upon himself and the United Stated Air Force.
