Distinguished Service Cross Medals were presented to United States Army soldiers. The Distinguished Service Cross is the United States Army’s second highest military decoration for soldiers who display extraordinary heroism in combat with an armed enemy force.
The Distinguished Service Cross has been in effect since April 6, 1917; however, under certain circumstances, the Distinguished Service Cross may be awarded for services rendered before April 6, 1917. It is the highest U.S. Army award that can be awarded to civilians in service to the military or to foreign nationals. Even in these cases, the criteria for the award are the same.
