Are we talking about the DFC (Distinguished Flying Cross): "Awarded to aviators and aircrew for heroism and/or extraordinary achievement during aerial flight, the Distinguished Flying Cross is the only medal conferred by all five military services, in all wars and campaigns from World War I to the present." Because, otherwise murphy66 is correct: DSC=U.S. Army. Navy Cross=U.S. Navy, U.S.M.C, and Coast Guard Air Force Cross=U.S.A.F.

knowthyself, Navy Flying Cross--no such animal, DSC--an Army award.

My Father served on board the Air Craft Carriers, WASP & HORNET in WW 2 as a Fighter Pilot he was awarded the Navy Flying Cross and the Navy Air Medal& a DSC. AND 2 Purple Hearts. None of them are Hung on the Neck with a Rebbon . MY Father Passed away in 2008, I now have all his Medals and His Presidential Citation From F,D.R

amateur critic are venting their spleen

Thank God Audie was a better soldier than he was an actor.

Audie Murphy is the "MOST DECORATED AMERICAN SOLDIER IN US HISTORY". Look it up and you will see that I am correct!!

Killowen they killed Bill didn't they. You must be on the wrong page.

We strongly oppose efforts to single out Israel, and will oppose actions that jeopardise Israel's national security Barack Obama. this should sum up our hope for recog.

It's a pity col.Blair's name was not recognised by the bigots in the North of Ireland. Nationalist's v.c.winners were ostracised by N.I. branch's of the British legion and were not invited to official functions. Nationalist V,C. winners names were only inserted on official monuments in recent years. It's also interesting to note "realist" that the North of Ireland did not have military service as in the rest of Britain. Man for man you had a very poor volunteer rate compared to the rest of the U.K. Your drum beating brethren failed to step up to the plate.By the way the first V.C. R.A.F. was a Dublin man. When hurling stones try and miss the glass house.

Realist, it's an injustice that Paddy Mayne never received a Victoria Cross. It's tragic that he died drunk behind a steering wheel.

The most decorated soldier in WWII was from Northern Ireland (UK): Lt. Col. Robert Blair Mayne of the Special Air Service (SAS). It's a pity that the Irish Free State choose to stand idly by while others (including a great number of their own citizens) fought the Nazis to preserve the very freedom they now take for granted.
