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 Captain (Infantry) Frank L. Bradley (ASN: 0-423387), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving as Commanding Officer of an Infantry Company of the 10th Infantry Regiment, 5th Infantry Division, in action against enemy forces on 4 December 1944, in Germany. During a strong enemy counterattack near Karlsbrunn, Germany, Captain Bradley courageously exposed himself to intense enemy artillery fire and ran approximately 300 yards to contact friendly tank destroyers. Although painfully wounded by shell fragments just as he reached his objective he gallantly refused to be evacuated, led the tank destroyers against the enemy and succeeded in repulsing the counterattack. Captain Bradley’s heroic actions and indomitable fighting spirit are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
