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 Second Lieutenant (Infantry) Dick B. Breeding, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with Company A, 167th Infantry Regiment, 42d Division, A.E.F., at Vacqueville, France, 12 May 1918. Lieutenant Breeding had been out with a patrol into the enemy's lines when it was discovered that one member of the patrol was missing. Lieutenant Breeding with another officer volunteered to return into the enemy lines in search of the missing man, thereby setting an example of determination, energy, and bravery. They proceeded on their mission and, while looking for the missing man discovered one of the enemy lurking in the bushes, whereupon Lieutenant Breeding shot and killed him, bringing the body into the American lines. Valuable information was obtained which aided materially in the later action of the command. Lieutenant Breeding was killed in action on 28 July 1918.
