16 October, 1953
Mrs. Jimmy P. Robinson
The Department of the Air Force has asked me to present to you the Distinguished Flying Cross, which the President of the United States has awarded, posthumously, to your husband, Captain Jimmy P. Robinson, USAF, for heroism while participating in aerial flight.
This medal is awarded only to those who have distinguished themselves by extraordinary devotion to duty combined with a personal disregard for one's own safety.
At your convenience, I would like very much to present this medal to you at Orlando Air Force Base. If you find it inconvenient to come here, I will, of course, arrange for you to receive it at Sanford.
I shall appreciate very much your advising me whether or not you will be able to come to Orlando, and if so, the date of your arrival.
In the meantime, if I can be of service to you. I shall deem it an honor to assist you in every way possible.
Sincerely,
WILLARD V. BROWN
Colonel, U.S. Air Force
Commander
