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 Major of Infantry Francois L. Tremblay, French Army, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service in a position of great responsibility to the Government of the United States, during World War I. As Chief of the French Officers assigned to the 90th Division during the training period and later as Liaison Officer of the Division at the front, by his tireless efforts, willing spirit of cooperation, and his high military attainments, Major Tremblay rendered services of great value to our troops and won the warmest admiration of both officers and men. On the front in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives his conduct and courage were a marked example to the men of the 90th Division.
