The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Edward K. Rooney, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Forrest of Parroy, France, March 20, 1918. After having successfully passed through an extraordinarily heavy barrage of gas and high-explosive shells, Sergeant Rooney volunteered and carried a message to the front line detachment, which, up to that time, had been cut off from all communication with the company.
