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 Isadore H. Solomon (ASN: 1817476), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company C, 317th Infantry Regiment, 80th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Sommauthe, France, 4 November 1918. When a friendly airplane had dropped a message in front of our line Sergeant Solomon, disregarding personal safety, exposed himself to heavy machine-gun fire in order to go out and recover the message. The information thus obtained was of vital importance for the successful continuance of the advance.
