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 Private First Class Lloyd M. Glenn (ASN: 38092149), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with an Infantry Company of the 184th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, in action against enemy forces near Damulaan, Leyte, Philippine Islands, on 2 December 1944. When his platoon suffered numerous casualties while attacking well-concealed enemy positions on a ridge, Private Glenn, an Infantry Scout, on his own initiative charged single-handedly against an enemy machine gun position in the face of intense fire. Though wounded in the left shoulder, he continued to move forward, killed the hostile gunner and captured his weapon. Sighting a second machine gun, he immediately resumed his assault, and although wounded again in the face, destroyed the weapon and its crew with grenade and rifle fire. He then remained in the captured emplacement while the remainder of his platoon moved up. Through his aggressive action and indomitable fighting spirit in destroying two enemy strong points despite his wounds, Private First Class Glenn inspired his comrades to continue their advance and seize their objective. His extraordinary heroism, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
