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 George D. Rapport (ASN: 1204528), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company G, 105th Infantry Regiment, 27th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near St. Souplet, France, 17 October 1918. With complete disregard for his own safety Sergeant Rapport attacked, single handed, two enemy machine-gun nests, killing or capturing the crews. The gallantry and devotion to duty thus displayed greatly inspired the men of his regiment.
