Distinguished Service Cro
The Distinguished Service Cross Second only to the Medal of Honor for Army personnel, this decoration was created by executive order on January 2 1918 and authorized by Congress on July 9, 1918. It is awarded to "a person who while serving in any capacity with the Army, distinguished himself or herself by extraordinary heroism not justifying the award of a Medal of Honor; while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing or foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing Armed Force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The act or acts of heroism must have been so notable and have involved risk of life so extraordinary as to set the individual apart from his or her comrades." During World War I, approximately 100 awards of an early variation of this medal known as the "French" or "first" style were also given. In this form, the arms of the cross were ornamented with oak leaves, the eagle was mounted on a diamond-shaped plaque, and the scroll bore the words "E Pluribus Unum", rather than the present-day "For Valor".

Navy Distinguished Servic
The Navy Distinguished Service Medal Once the Navy's second highest award, this medal was authorized by Congress on February 4, 1919 and was awarded to any person who while serving in any capacity with the U.S. Navy, distinguished himself by "exceptionally meritorious service to the government in a duty of great responsibility", after April 6, 1917. The Distinguished Service Medal was designed by Paul Manship and was awarded for combat or noncombat service. An earlier design, featuring an anchor with a setting sun in the background, and suspended by an eagle and a scroll with the dates: "1917-1918", was sometimes worn, but was never authorized for award. In 1942, The Navy Cross was given precedence over this medal.
