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 Andrew F. Vogel (ASN: 1829263), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company C, 320th Infantry Regiment, 80th Division, American Expeditionary Forces, near Bois De Ogon, France, 10 October 1918. Crawling on his hands and knees from a place of safety, Sergeant Vogel went to the aid of a wounded comrade, exposed to intense machine-gun fire during the entire exploit. He successfully accomplished his task, but during a later artillery attack he was instantly killed.
