Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Warrant Officer One Bobby J. Bradley for heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary action, above and beyond the call of duty in the Republic of Vietnam. Warrant Officer Bradley distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 7 December 1967 while serving as an Aircraft Commander of an armed helicopter during a combat support mission near the Bong Son Plains, Republic of Vietnam. While flying at low altitude over enemy-controlled terrain, Warrant Officer Bradley exposed himself to the intense hostile ground fire on numerous occasions as his aircraft made several low-level passes over the insurgent's position in order to place accurate suppressive fire against them. During the action, Warrant Officer Bradley was credited with neutralizing several enemy positions and contributed greatly to the successful completion of his unit's mission. His 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.
