These memories and images will be preserved for Damon's only granchild, Dylan Dameron, born 2001. Thanks, David Story Keywords: Lewis Damon Story was a Korean War veteran. He entered the Air Force in January 1951 and took his basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. Upon completion of basic training, he was sent to Lowry A.F.B. to RTC and B-26 Gun School. He was then sent to combat crew training at Langley A.F.B. in Virginia before going overseas in January and being assigned to the 8th Bombardment Squad, 3rd Bombardment Group in Korea. He was presented the Distinguished Flying Cross in August 1953 in an informal presentation at Headquarters of the 305th Bomb Wing. Colonel E. Vandevanter, Jr., commander of the 305th, gave him the award. According to the official citation, Story distinguished himself by extraordinary achievement on the night of June 23. While Airman Story and his crew were reconnoitering their target area east of Pyongyong, North Korea, a series of convoys was sighted south toward the front line. During the repeated attacks pressed on these vehicles Story demonstrated an unusual coordination with his pilot by monitoring the instruments, altimeter and air speed indicators so effectively that the pilot was allowed to concentrate fully on his primary mission of destroying the enemy. As a result, ten enemy vehicles were destroyed by fire and explosion. Story flew fifty missions and was also awarded the air medal.
