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 Sergeant Steve Kubacki (ASN: 1099757), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company D, 55th Infantry Regiment, 7th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Jaulny, France, 10 November 1918. After leading his platoon to its objective, and having consolidated a defense position, Sergeant Kubacki alone went forward under heavy shell fire to reconnoiter the enemy’s position. Finding the area clear, he moved his platoon 300 yards forward to a more favorable position, which he held despite the fierce fire of the enemy.
