The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Clinton Day, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Thibaut, France, August 7, 1918. Private Day repeatedly volunteered and carried messages from his company in the front line across an open field swept by enemy machine-gun and sniper fire, to the battalion post command. He also voluntarily made trips across this dangerous area for the purpose of filling canteens for wounded soldiers and securing stretchers.
