Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Lieutenant Junior Grade Marvin T. Braddock for meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flight as Pilot of an attack plane attached to and serving with Attack Squadron One Hundred Fifty-five on the U.S.S. Princeton on 16 March 1953. Lieutenant Junior Grade Braddock, while flying as a member of an attack bomber group in the Wonsan Military Complex area of Communist-held North Korea, spotted a large number of camouflaged trucks and supplies. Despite intense and accurate anti-aircraft fire, he personally destroyed four trucks and caused a large secondary explosion. His courageous conduct and superb airmanship contributed immeasurably to the success of the Princeton in its assigned missions and to the termination of the conflict with the Communist Forces in North Korea. His actions and steadfast devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
