Photo of Major Roger P. Fox (LTC Ret.) having just received his Silver Star, for his actions on the nights of Dec 4-5, 1966 "Attack On Tan Son Nhut." The award was presented by General William W. Momyer, Deputy Commander for air operations, Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, and also, commander, Seventh Air Force.

Maj Fox, wrote for the US Air Force the book (and base attacks bible), "Air Base Defense In The Republic Of Vietnam, 1961-1973." If you ever make a claim with the Veterans Administration, this is just one of the sources that they utilize to see if a USAF Base in Vietnam was attacked on a particular date.
