CITATIONS
DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS
AIR MEDAL PURPLE HEART
Excerpt from citation accompanying the Distinguished Flying Cross, certified by the President of the United States, and authorized by an Act of Congress, Award posthumously 14 March, 1949; "Distinguished himself by extraordinary achievement as pilot of a B-24; type aircraft on an operational mission to Belloy-Sur-Somme, France."
Near the target his aircraft was severely damaged and set on fire by anti-aircraft fire, causing it to veer sharply toward other aircraft in the formation, in a moment of great peril to himself and his crew, Lieutenant Logan, remained at the controls and skillfully maneuvered the burning aircraft out of the formation in order to prevent damage to other aircraft and injury to his fellow airmen. He stands in the unbroken line of patriots who have dared to die that freedom might live and grow and increase its blessings. Freedom lives and through it, lives in a way that humbles the undertakings of most men.
Dedicated by Lt. James A. Logan Post, V.F.W. No. 6800, May 24, 1959.
