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 Sergeant Steve G. Norris (ASN: 2267070), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company G, 364th Infantry Regiment, 91st Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Very, France, 26 September 1918. Sergeant Norris voluntarily preceded his company in searching woods for the purpose of locating enemy snipers, who were causing numerous casualties. He also made numerous trips under artillery and machine-gun fire to maintain liaison with adjacent units. When his company was making its first advance under heavy shell fire this soldier, then a corporal, took the place of a rifle sergeant’s section and kept this unit intact during the advance.
