The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Private First Class Amado Garcia (ASN: 1626968), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company K, 110th Infantry Regiment, 28th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Fismes, France, 26 August 1918. With two other soldiers Private Garcia crawled 300 yards in front of our lines, through the enemy’s wire, and attacked a hostile machine-gun nest. The enemy crew opened fire on them at a range of only ten yards and resisted stubbornly, but they succeeded in killing three of the crew and driving off the others with clubbed rifles. They returned to our lines under heavy fire.
