For exemplary service to the =American Volunteer Group= as Commanding Officer of the First Pursuit Squadron, and Group Commander for the =AVG=. LTC Tiger single-handedly conceptualized, designed and set-up the highly successful Normandy campaign and led the squadron through two successful tours in said campaign. LTC Tiger selflessly devoted hours of his own time to the design, and implementation of the Normandy campaign. Without his tireless efforts, many members of several squadrons would have been without valuable experience, and would most certainly have had many more free hours to do nothing all day.

Throughout the campaign LTC Tiger set an excellent example for the members of the group by upholding the highest moral and ethical standard, never succumbing to trivial games, and guiding members of the group in not doing the same themselves. His actions were in keeping with the highest standards of the =AVG= and the U.S. Army Air Forces.
