"The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Sergeant George F. Miller, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company K, 119th Infantry Regiment, 30th Division, A.E.F., near Bellicourt, France, 29 September 1918."
