France Legion d'Honneur for American WW II veterans

[Hugh]

I know that France has been awarding the Legion d'Honneur for some American WW II veterans. Can anyone direct me to the award criteria? I have a friend who served in the UK as ground crew for the US Eighth Air Force. To the best of my knowledge, he never served in France. Would he be eligible?

Thanks for your help,

Hugh
