The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Technician Fourth Grade Coleman Sinclair Rogers (ASN: 33226061), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving as a Medical Aidman with the Medical Detachment, 317th Infantry Regiment, 80th Infantry Division, in action against enemy forces near Morville-sur-Seille, France, on 8 November 1944. On that date, Technician Fourth Grade Rogers was severely wounded by enemy artillery fire while closely following advancing troops. Then, despite his own wounds, he dragged himself painfully across a muddy field to where another wounded soldier lay, bandaged the man’s wounds and attempted to crawl to the rear with the wounded soldier on his back. The physical strain proved too much for Technician Fourth Grade Rogers in his wounded condition, and he was found and evacuated some time later, too weak to bandage his own wounds. His conspicuous, heroic courage and supreme devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the 80th Infantry Division, and the United States Army.
