Citation:  1.) The Distinguished Flying Cross for outstanding achievement while participating in aerial flights in the European Theater of Operations from 22 June 1944 to 27 February 1945. On 28 January 1945, Lt. Schuele led his squadron against rail and motor traffic in the Homburg-Pirmasens-Bitche area. Despite intense and accurate anti-aircraft fire, the bombing and strafing resulted in severe damage to a marshalling yard, rail line cut, seven box cars destroyed and twenty-nine damaged, two motor transports destroyed and six damaged and four buildings destroyed. The outstanding courage, accuracy and aggressiveness displayed by Lt Schuele on these missions reflects the highest credit upon himself and the Army Air Forces of the United States.
