Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Chief Warrant Officer Bobby E. Scott for heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary actions above and beyond the call of duty in the Republic of Vietnam. Warrant Officer Scott distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous action on 2 December 1967, while serving as Pilot in the command and control helicopter of Brigadier General Oscar E. Davis. Despite exceptionally hazardous weather and excessive enemy action, Warrant Officer Scott skillfully piloted his aircraft into an ARVN outpost under heavy attack. When his aircraft broke through the heavy fog barrier surrounding the outpost, Warrant Officer Scott directed his crewman to fire their machine guns at the dispersing enemy troops and made two passes at noticeable groups who fled from the area to seek overhead cover. Warrant Officer Scott then landed at the beleaguered friendly outpost and made possible the relief and medevac of seriously wounded allies. Chief Warrant Officer Scott's outstanding flying ability and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

2.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Chief Warrant Officer Bobby E. Scott for heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary actions above and beyond the call of duty in the Republic of Vietnam. Chief Warrant Officer Scott distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions during the period of 15 February 1968 to 25 February 1968, while serving as Pilot for the Assistant Division Commander during a combat mission near the city of Huc, Republic of Vietnam. Chief Warrant Officer Scott repeatedly flew his aircraft to the Huc Citadel through extremely adverse weather conditions and over enemy-controlled terrain in order for the Assistant Division Commander to be present for urgent coordination conferences with the Commanding General, 1st ARVN Division. During this time the Citadel itself was under siege and enemy action was intense. On three separate occasions Chief Warrant Officer Scott voluntarily flew wounded U.S. Marines out of the Huc Citadel when evacuation helicopters were unable to reach the city because of the intense enemy activity. Despite his aircraft taking direct hits from small arms fire Chief Warrant Officer Scott piloted his ship through adverse weather that necessitated flying at tree-top level in order for the Assistant Division Commander to inspect all four battalion positions during the siege. Chief Warrant Officer Scott's outstanding flying ability and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
