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 George Goumas (ASN: 1918987), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company B, 307th Field Signal Battalion, 82d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Fleville, France, 21 October 1918. Private First Class Goumas was in a relay station which was struck by a shell, wounding him and five others. After assisting the other wounded men to a truck near by, he returned through the falling shells to the relay station and assisted another soldier in repairing the wire, which had been cut, remaining at his post until he had made sure that the lines were in good condition and he was ordered to come in by his commanding officer.
