Joe Limon

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Joe Limon, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Thibaut, France, August 10, 1918. Wounded in a scouting mission, Private Limon remained on observation until he had gained valuable information. After having his wound dressed, he returned to duty and made several trips to the flank regiments, each time bringing back valuable information for our own troops and of the enemy. He later voluntarily located a minenwerfer and heavy mortar emplacement from which the enemy was firing on neighboring troops.
