Citation:  1.) The Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism while participating in aerial flight, as evidenced by voluntary actions above and beyond the call of duty in the Republic of Vietnam: Warrant Officer Wiley distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 8 October 1968 while serving as a Pilot with Company A, 9th Aviation Battalion, on a reconnaissance in force mission in Long An Province. When a friendly scout ship was shot down in the Vam Co Tay River, Warrant Officer Wiley, disregarding his own safety, took his ship through heavy enemy fire to pick the downed pilot out of the water and rush him to medical facilities in Tan An. Warrant Officer Wiley'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, the 9th Infantry Division and the United States Army.

2.) STANLEY C. WILEY, Warrant Officer, United States Army, Company A, 9th Aviation Battalion, 9th Infantry Division, is awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (First Oak Leaf Cluster) for heroism while participating in aerial flight, as evidenced by voluntary actions above and beyond the call of duty in the Republic of Vietnam. Warrant Officer Wiley distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 10 November 1968 while serving as a Pilot with Company A, 9th Aviation Battalion, on a reconnaissance in force mission in Long An Province. When Warrant Officer Wiley received word that immediate evacuation of critically wounded men was necessary, he attempted to take his craft into the heavily embattled area to make the pickup. As he hovered over the friendly force and his craft was hit by enemy fire, instinctively Warrant Officer Wiley maneuvered the helicopter away from the friendly force and crash landed, preventing injury to the eight men aboard. Warrant Officer Wiley's outstanding flying ability and devotion to duty are in keeping with the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the 9th Infantry Division and the United States Army.
