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 Sam Bloomberg (ASN: 2407217), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company B, 312th Infantry Regiment, 78th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Grand Pre, France, October 18 – 23, 1918. During the period of five days that his company was occupying an advanced and isolated position, Private Bloomberg volunteered and carried messages to his company headquarters after seeing two other runners wounded in the attempt to cross through the sweeping barrage. He was at all times under constant fire and observation of enemy machine gunners, but he succeeded in establishing liaison during the entire operations.
