Unit Citations Info

Monday, 27 August 2007 17:38 | Author: Rod Hupp | PDF Print E-mail
History - USAF parts
The Distinguished Unit Citation (D.U.C.), which is also called the 
Presidential Unit Citation (P.U.C.) was awarded to the 95th BG
three times for three very dangerous and difficult missions:
     17 Aug 1943 (Regensburg Mission)
     10 Oct 1943 (Munster Mission)
      4 Mar 1944 (Berlin Mission)
________________________________________________
            
The Presidential Unit Citation is awarded to units of
the Armed Forces of the United States and allies for
extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy
on or after 7 December 1941 (the date of the Attack on
Pearl Harbor and the start of American involvement in
World War II).
The unit must display such gallantry, determination, 
and esprit de corps in accomplishing its mission under
extremely difficult and hazardous conditions so as to
set it apart from and above other units participating
in the same campaign.
The 95th was the only 8th Air Force Bomb Group to receive
the Presidential Unit Citation 3 times!
 

  
The U.S. Air Force History Support Office states
that the Presidential Unit Citation is awarded to
the entire group, not to just the air crew members.
Therefore, ANYONE who served with the 95th Bomb Group
in ANY CAPACITY for ANY LENGTH OF TIME is entitled
to wear this citation. 
Members of the 95th BG who do not have the citation
can contact the Personnel Records Center in St. Louis
and request one. 
Information for contacting the National Personnel
Records Office:
National Personnel Records Center
Military Personnel Records
9700 Page Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63132-5100
Requests for military records and/or medals/awards
must be made in writing.  There is a form you can
download online by checking out the website:
