Categories: Service Awards, US Military Decorations

This category contains profiles of recipients of this award.

The Distinguished Service Medal (DSM) is a military award of the United States Army that is presented to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the United States military, has distinguished himself or herself by exceptionally meritorious service to the Government in a duty of great responsibility. The performance must be such as to merit recognition for service that is clearly exceptional. Exceptional performance of normal duty will not alone justify an award of this decoration. The DSM may also be awarded to a non-military civilian who has distinguished himself or herself by exceptionally meritorious service to the Government.
