Lyndon Johnson actually said...

He is the first Air officer to win the Medal of Honor in Vietnam.

I would like through all these gallant men to honor the men of the United States Air Force who are serving us in Vietnam and in that area.

Major Fisher has won this honor--the Nation's highest honor--because of uncommon gallantry in the face of death.

They deserve the best their Nation can offer them because they are the best of this Nation.
