The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Joseph A. Chayie, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Terny-Sorny, north of Soissons, France, September 10, 1918. Under heavy shell fire, when movement in the open was extremely hazardous, Private First Class Chayie made eight trips from the front lines to battalion headquarters with important messages. His courage, high sense of duty, and coolness under fire were an example of heroism and devotion to duty which inspired his comrades.
