Navy Cross Citation:
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Master Technical Sergeant Archie Paschal (MCSN: 169886), United States Marine Corps, for distinguished service in the line of his profession as an Airplane Pilot attached to the 2d Brigade, U.S. Marine Corps, operating in the Republic of Nicaragua. During 1040 hours of flying over mountainous and partly unexplored jungle, Sergeant Paschal displayed great courage and skill in attacks on hostile bandit forces, and in flights through dangerous weather for the purpose of locating and supporting ground patrols. During this service he carried, without mishap, approximately 1700 passengers and 840,000 pounds of freight over terrain where a forced landing would, almost inevitably, have resulted in fatalities.
