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 Colonel (Infantry) Hu B. Myers, 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. As Assistant Chief of Staff, G-3, and Chief of Staff, 2d Division, during its final operations, Colonel Myers performed his exacting staff duties with conspicuous ability. To his brilliant military attainments and untiring zeal were due, in a large measure, the successes achieved by his division in its attack on Masif du Mont at St. Etienne-a-Arnes, when the 2d Division served with the 4th French Army, and again during its advance from Landres-et-St. Georges to the Meuse during the final phase of the Meuse-Argonne offensive.
