Recently, several of our guys were awarded the Croix de Guerre and in fact, Tony Stefanelli just received one at our latest reunion.
I remember a post on the forum from long ago from a Russ Cloer, he also received a Croix de Guerre during the war. Russ was in the 3rd Inf Div, if memory serves me correctly. So they were handed out during the war, and you can still get one today by applying for it.
