Congressional Medal Of Honor Citation
  Jesse N. Funk, private, first class, Company L, 354th Infantry, 89th Division.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in

action with the enemy near Bois de Bantheville, France, October 31, 1918.

Learning that two daylight patrols had been caught out in No Man's Land, and

were unable to return, Pvt. Funk and another stretcher bearer, upon their own

initiative, made two trips 500 yards beyond our lines, under constant

machine-gun fire, and rescued two wounded officers. Residence at enlistment:

Calhan, Colo.
