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 Marion Sinatra (ASN: 51803), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company K, 23d Infantry Regiment, 2d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Chateau-Thierry, France, 6 June 1918. Rushing through rifle and machine-gun fire for a distance of 75 meters, Private Sinatra rescued a wounded comrade; and, while carrying him to safety, was himself seriously wounded. He continued on with his comrade, however, until he reached cover, administering first aid to the other man before attending to his own wound.
