AWARD CRITERIA: The Distinguished Service Cross is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the Army, distinguishes himself or herself by extraordinary heroism not justifying the award of a Medal of Honor; while engaged in an action against an enemy of the Unites States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing/foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing Armed Force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The act or acts of heroism must have been so notable and have involved risk of life so extraordinary as to set the individual apart from his or her comrades.

BACKGROUND: a. The Distinguished Service Cross was established by President Woodrow Wilson on January 2, 1918. General Pershing, Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces in France, had recommended that recognition other than the Medal of Honor, be authorized for the Armed Forces of the United States for service rendered, in like manner, to that awarded by the European Armies. The request for establishment of the medal was forwarded from the Secretary of War to the President in a letter dated December 28, 1917. The Act of Congress establishing this award (193-65th Congress) dated July 9, 1918 is contained in Title 10 United States Code (USC) 3742. The establishment of the Distinguished Service Cross was promulgated in War Department General Order No. 6, dated January 12, 1918.

Description: A cross of bronze, 2 inches in height and 1 13/16 inches in width with an eagle on the center and a scroll below the eagle bearing the inscription "FOR VALOR". On the reverse side, the center of the cross is circled by a wreath with a space for engraving the name of the recipient.

Ribbon: The ribbon is 1 3/8 inches wide and consists of the following stripes: 1/8 inch Old Glory Red 67156; 1/16 inch White 67101; 1 inch Imperial Blue 67175; 1 1/16 inch White; and 1/8 inch Old Glory Red.

 

THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. 100% GENUINE PIECE. MONEY BACK GUARANTEED.

Seller Responsibilities: As a seller, I will always try to give you the best before and after sales service and the best quality antiques at the best prices. I am not here to swindle or dupe anyone, otherwise my life as a seller would be very short indeed. I have been selling on ebay for over a year and pride myself on my salesmanship and feedback. I will always give my best effort to you as a customer and welcome honest feedback. Please remember, that I have a full time job outside of this one and when my family needs me, you might have to wait a small amount of time to get a response. If you want to ask for advice or need an opinion, that is and will always be free, no matter what the subject. I'm here to have fun and expand both of our collections and both of our experiences. The best customers are the ones who come back, why not become one yourself?

Feedback: I always leave positive feedback once the buyer has left the same and I am confident that the transaction has been positive and enjoyable for both buyer and seller. If, for some reason, you are unhappy or have concerns, please email me first before leaving negative feedback. Trust me, it's in both of our interests to work out the differences before we put on the boxing gloves. I have a pretty good feedback record, so if in doubt, just ask.
