The DFC Society only has information on our members. That is, we list all who have joined the Society, even if their membership has lapsed. If a member has submitted their conflict, aircraft and/or citation(s), we also publish that information on their Honor Roll listing.
The DFC Society Honor Roll is a listing of members, all of whom have been awarded the DFC. If an individual has not joined the DFC Society, they are not listed on our Honor Roll.
To join the DFC Society, you must have been awarded a DFC. We require proof of the award to circumvent “Stolen Valor” submissions, of which several have been attempted. We generally ask for a copy of the DFC award citation(s) or a discharge/separation document, e.g., DD_214, listing the DFC award. In extraordinary circumstances, on a case-by-case basis, the Society will consider alternate means of definitive proof.
The easiest way is to enroll online under the DFCS Applications/Renewals tab on our web site. You can submit proof of DFC and pay online. Alternatively, you may print the application and mail it in with check or credit card information and proof of DFC documents. You may also email the Society using our web site Contact form via the CONTACT button at the lower right on every page of our web site. Or call us at 866-332-6332 and leave a message; our Membership Services Administrator will then contact you.
Definitely yes. We are organized as a 501 (c) 19 nonprofit war veterans’ organization, eligible under IRS regulations for tax deductible donations. Note: The Distinguished Flying Cross Society does not provide tax, legal or accounting advice, so we encourage you to check with your tax advisor.
