    The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Major Littleton Waller Tazewell Waller, Jr. (MCSN: 0-1034), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving with the 5th & 6th Regiments (Marines), 2d Division, A.E.F. in action during various actions of his regiments in France. The success of the various attacks of both the 5th and 6th Regiments is in a great measure due to the untiring energy and unfailing devotion to duty of Major Waller. During the operations of the Brigade in France, the support of the infantry by machine guns has been in every case, all that could be desired. Considering the fact that never under any conditions has aid of this infantry been asked in order that this support might be given, this is a remarkable record which this officer has established. Major Walker is an officer of splendid ability, sound judgment, initiative and courage.
