Citation:  1.) The approach to the target, Captain Stein's precision-directed run over the objective enabled his bombers to score many direct hits, destroying this vital link in enemy communication lines.

On more than sixty combat missions his outstanding proficiency and steadfast devotion to duty have reflected great credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of the United States.
