Edward T. Fogo

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edward T. Fogo, First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near La Selle River, France, October 18, 1918. When his company had received orders to advance from the front line, First Lieutenant Fogo, then in command, led the company to its objective, despite severe wounds he had received prior to the start of the attack. He refused treatment until the mission was complete, when he went to the dressing station. He returned as soon as possible and remained with his company during the entire operations.
