John Warner, Air Medal with bronze star - John McCain
“ Encountering intense antiaircraft fire while en route to the target, and a barrage of eight to ten surface-to-air missiles at the initial attack position, he evaded the lethal air defenses and carried out a precise attack against his assigned aim point. His accurate ordnance delivery left one aircraft burning and two others severely damaged. Lieutenant Commander McCain's courage and aggressive airmanship in the face of massed enemy air defenses were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. ”
