Frank L. Czar

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Frank L. Czar, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with Company E, 60th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division, in action against enemy forces on 8 November 1942, in North Africa. Corporal Czar demonstrated coolness and bravery beyond the call of duty when upon the withdrawal of our troops from the native village, he and Second Lieutenant Charles Dushane manned an enemy anti-tank gun in full view of the enemy. Part of the breech of the gun had been removed and Lieutenant Dushane was able to fire the gun only by firing bullets from his sub- machine gun into the base of the anti-tank shell. Meanwhile Corporal Czar aimed the gun. In this manner he destroyed one enemy tank and delayed the enemy attack.
