Citation:  1.) The Distinguished Flying Cross for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as Aircraft Commander of an F-4C "Phantom II" tactical jet fighter near Mui Lai, North Vietnam on 11 October 1967. On that date, Major Moses was on a special mission in support of Con Thien and Gio Lin, two Marine outposts under fire from artillery located in North Vietnam.
