Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Awakened this morning with a grand and glorious feeling. Went over to Belrain [Aerodrome]—Second Pursuit Group where the decoration took place. There were several boys decorated, Major General Patrick and General Mitchell did the decorating. I was awarded D.S.C. with 4 oak leaves and no doubt have more coming. Was out on patrol this afternoon but bad weather prevented any Huns coming out, so we decided to come back.
