The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Army Distinguished Service Medal to Brigadier General Daniel F. Craig, United States Army, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services to the Government of the United States, in a duty of great responsibility during World War I. General Craig served with distinction as Commanding Officer of the 302d Field Artillery Brigade, 76th Division, and later, upon being promoted to the grade of Brigadier General, as Commanding General of the 157th Field Artillery Brigade, 82d Division, his service was equally conspicuous. Due to his aggressive leadership, his batteries were at all times close behind the advancing Infantry. The accurate support which they furnished was largely due to his management and technical skill as an artillerist.
