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 Second Lieutenant (Infantry) Frank Warnock, Jr. (ASN: 0-1322108), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with Company D, 1st Battalion, 117th Infantry Regiment, 30th Infantry Division, in action against enemy forces in France, on 18 June 1944. The attack near Pont de St. Fromond, France, was halted by intense enemy machine-gun fire. Second Lieutenant Warnock, a platoon leader, was advancing alone toward the enemy positions when he observed a column of enemy troops. Opening fire with his carabine, he killed or wounded six of them. Later, he continued his advance toward the two enemy machine-gun positions, hurled two hand grenades into one of them, killing and wounding the occupants. Advancing on the other position, he threw his remaining grenade and charged, killing the entire enemy force. Second Lieutenant Warnock’s 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, the 30th Infantry Division, and the United States Army.
