Sergeant Randy S. McComb distinguished himself by heroism while participating in aerial flight as a Pararescue Specialist on an HH-3E rescue helicopter in Southeast Asia on 11 November 1967.  On that date, Sergeant McComb flew into an extremely hostile ground environment to attempt the rescue of a downed USAF pilot.  Driven from a hover by intense small arms and automatic weapons fire, he again returned, and for a second time was driven off.  Moments later, and without fighter escort of any kind, Sergeant McComb’s helicopter descended below a low cloud layer and performed visual reconnaissance for a second helicopter until his aircraft was driven off for a third time by antiaircraft fire.  The outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Sergeant McComb reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
