Upon completion of the 369th\u00e2\u0080\u0099s service in the war, the regiment had spent 191 days in combat, the longest of any American regiment. In appreciation for their actions in the Maison-en-Champagne campaign, the 369th was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French Government for acts of bravery in conflicts against the enemy. In addition to this honor, 171 individual members of the 369th Regiment were awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor. Corporal McVey was awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Purple Heart for bravely leading his squad in an attack against a nest of machine guns at Sechault, September 29, 1918.
