Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant Milus C. Campbell, Jr., for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-100 Tactical Fighter Pilot near Tay Ninh in the Republic of Vietnam on 11 May 1969. On that date, Lieutenant Campbell was diverted to support members of the 11th Cavalry Division whose advance had been halted by a large hostile force. Lieutenant Campbell completed nine low-angle deliveries with unerring accuracy despite intense ground-to-air fire, adverse weather conditions, and the close proximity of the friendly forces, inflicting maximum damage to the hostile forces. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Lieutenant Campbell reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
