The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Myron I. Hoffman, First Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Paarden Kanter, Belgium, October 31, 1918. Sergeant Hoffman was mortally wounded by shell fire while he was returning to report to his company commander the position of the dressing station, which he had located in order that the wounded might be evacuated under cover of darkness. While being carried to the rear in great pain he directed his litter bearers to go by way of the battalion post of command in order that he might deliver his reports.
