Foolhardy Feat Nets Medal for Vietnam Hero
Army Maj. Richard A. Lester received the Distinguished Flying Cross for a 1971 Vietnam night mission in which he flew a UH-1 gunship with lights on to lure enemy fire, sacrificing his safety to draw fire away from South Korean troops and guide mortar and air support to trap the enemy near Ninh Hoa. The award, delayed by lost paperwork, was approved after a 1981 resubmission prompted by Col. Willis R. Bunting, his former commander.
