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 George F. Schultz (ASN: 3535520), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company E, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Sedan, France, 7 November 1918. While accompanying his company as Liaison Agent in the advance, Private Schultz attacked, single-handed, a machine-gun nest which was delivering a heavy fire, killing the gunner, and caused many other casualties among the enemy. His act also caused other enemy machine-gunners to withdraw, and saved his company from a very dangerous flanking fire.
