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 Sergeant Albert C. Meyer (ASN: 1902039), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company G, 326th Infantry Regiment, 82d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near St. Juvin, France, 11 October 1918. After his platoon had suffered heavy casualties through the devastating fire, Sergeant Meyer, although suffering from a wound, reorganized the remnants of the platoon and continued the advance. He was again wounded, but refused evacuation. He insisted on remaining with and cheering the men, until struck the third time when he fell mortally wounded.
