"Smokin against the CRO squadron when we flew WAY undermanned in Week 2. He managed to gather enough points to tip the battle in our favor facing very skilled foe and horrible odds." - Lt. Colonel Warren

For his heroic effort on 13 February 2010 during Week 2 of the United Squadrons League, in the face of a determined enemy, Major Smokin is hereby awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Great stuff, Smokin! S!

That was a very notable mission but the most extraordinary service was your dedication in representing the =AVG= while in the USL. These types of missions and open pit especially, aren’t your cup of tea but you were present for every match……even when it meant waking up at 6am your time for a match. That alone deserves special merit!! I cannot express enough thanks for this simple feat.

Hopefully these awards will be at least a small token of the great appreciation of this squadron that you have honored. A true hero of the squadron, wear the American Volunteer Group uniform proudly, it is well deserved!!!

Smokin and Space were mirror members of our USL team. Nothing more or less could be said about each pilot. Without you gentlemen, we would have ended up on the bottom.

KUDOS and CONGRAULATIONS
