World War 1, Quote #5
MoH Citation from https://history.army.mil/moh/worldwari.html
DONALDSON, MICHAEL A.
Rank and organization: Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company I, 165th Infantry, 42d Division
Place and date: At Sommerance-Landres-et St. Georges Road, France, 14 October 1918
Entered service at: Haverstraw, N.Y.
G.O. No.: 9, W.D., 1923
Citation: The advance of his regiment having been checked by intense machinegun fire of the enemy, who were entrenched on the crest of a hill before Landres-et St. Georges, his company retired to a sunken road to reorganize their position, leaving several of their number wounded near the enemy lines. Of his own volition, in broad daylight and under direct observation of the enemy and with utter disregard for his own safety, he advanced to the crest of the hill, rescued one of his wounded comrades, and returned under withering fire to his own lines, repeating his splendidly heroic act until he had brought in all the men, 6 in number.
