LIEUTENANT COLONEL EDWARD R. RADZWICH, United States Army, commander of I Co., 101st Infantry Regiment of the 26th (Yankee) Division in World War II. The Distinguished Service Cross was presented to the then Captain Radzwich for his extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy during the period 1-4 December 1944. The birlliant, heroic leadership Captain Radzwich displayed during furious action to take Saare-Union France, distinguishes him as an outstanding commander. With complete disregard for his own safety he repeatedly took the lead in fierce assaults against the enemy, exposing himself to fire to inspire and encourage his men. He personally killed many of the enemy in bold, daring action, and his fearlessness and skill were in great measure responsible for the capture of the town. His courage and supreme devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
