The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Joseph Ucac, Private First Class, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Binarville, France, September 27, 1918. Returning to the line after being wounded by a hand grenade the previous day, Private Ucac persistently requested to be allowed to assist stretcher bearers in the removal of the wounded. While performing this heroic mission, constantly subjected to treacherous machine-gun and artillery fire, he was again wounded.
