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 Isaac Goldstein (ASN: 2406728), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company D, 312th Infantry Regiment, 78th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Talma Farm, France, 19 October 1918. Disregarding the warning that to leave shelter meant almost certain death, Private Goldstein went to the aid of a wounded comrade through an open field exposed to murderous artillery and machine-gun fire. Bringing his comrade back to safety, he took a message from the wounded man’s pocket and delivered it to its destination. Under cover of darkness he carried his comrade to a first-aid station.
