Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Glenn L. Ramsdale, Jr., who distinguished himself by heroism while participating in aerial flight as an F-100 pilot over hostile territory in Southeast Asia, on 5 January 1969. On that date, Captain Ramsdale led a flight of three F-100's against a large concentration of active hostile anti-aircraft sites. Under the pressure of adverse weather, intense anti-aircraft fire, and constant radio interference, Captain Ramsdale, with courage and determination, silenced one anti-aircraft site causing a large secondary explosion, and killed an undetermined number of hostile soldiers. The outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Captain Ramsdale reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
