Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant Richard G. Schulz for extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight on September 20, 1950, as Wingman of two B-26 type aircraft. Lieutenant Schulz displayed outstanding airmanship while flying through marginal weather to the target area. With the use of rockets he personally destroyed three boxcars at Okchon, Korea and damaged one locomotive southeast of Taejon. At Sintansin, he bombed and strafed the marshaling yards leaving four boxcars burning and the tracks damaged. As a result of his highly successful mission, supplies destined for the enemy were destroyed or damaged. By his personal courage and devotion to duty Lieutenant Schulz has brought great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
