The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Joseph Vedilago, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Binarville, France, September 28, 1918. Corporal Vedilago crawled from his shelter to get an automatic rifle, after the members of the rifle team had been killed or wounded, and, with this weapon, continued in the advance until he was killed by shell fragments.
