Michael Witkoski

The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Michael Witkoski, Corporal, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Vilcey-sur-Trey, France, November 2, 1918. After Corporal Witkoski and two wounded comrades had become separated from their platoon and were almost entirely surrounded by the enemy, Corporal Witowski directed the fire of his men, killing and wounding several of the enemy and holding the position until assistance arrived from his platoon.
