	Distinguished Service Cross (USA) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) is the second highest military decoration of the United States Army which is awarded for extreme gallantry and risk of life in actual combat with an armed enemy force.
		The Distinguished Service Cross was introduced in January 1918 by President Woodrow Wilson and formalized by the United States Congress on July 9, 1918.
		This decoration should not be confused with the Distinguished Service Medal, which recognizes meritorious service to the government of the United States (as a senior military officer or government official) rather than individual acts of bravery (as a member of the United States Army).
