I asked Andy and Maureen the same thing Steve. DFC is Distinguished Flying Cross. AM stands for Air Medal, a decoration awarded for meritorious conduct in flight operations. OLC stands for Oak Leaf Cluster, which denotes multiple awards of the same medal or decoration on different occasions. The Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters was awarded three times. And the Air Medal was awarded five times.
