{{Blockquote|For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action above and beyond the call of duty in the Southwest Pacific area from October 10, to November 15, 1944. Though assigned to duty as gunnery instructor and neither required nor expected to perform combat duty, Maj. Bong voluntarily and at his own urgent request engaged in repeated combat missions, including unusually hazardous sorties over Balikpapan, Borneo, and in the Leyte area of the Philippines. His aggressiveness and daring resulted in his shooting down 8 enemy airplanes during this period.<ref name=AMOHW>{{Cite web|access-date=December 9, 2007 |url=http://www.history.army.mil/html/moh/wwII-a-f.html |title=Richard Bong, Medal of Honor recipient |work=World War II (A–F) |publisher=[[United States Army Center of Military History]] |date=June 8, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080616211621/http://www.history.army.mil/html/moh/wwII-a-f.html |archive-date=June 16, 2008 }}</ref>}}
