The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Second Lieutenant (Infantry) Frank J. Fisher, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 355th Infantry Regiment, 89th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Beauclair, France, November 3 – 4, 1918. Largely as a result of his personal bravery Lieutenant Fisher advanced our front line a distance of two kilometers, going out in advance and capturing two German machine-guns and killing the crews. When his line was later halted by heavy fire, he exposed himself fearlessly in passing among his men to steady them and direct the consolidation of the position they held. While so doing he was mortally wounded.
