Did Gerald Cooke receive Distinguished Service Cross?

My dad's father was in WWI. His OMPF was among those destroyed in 1973. I had recently requested info. that NARA might have (alternative records) for my grandfather. They have a pay voucher record they can send. I do have some other information. I also had asked on the SF 180, did Gerald A Cook(e) receive a Distinguished Service Cross? I have a few newspaper articles from Albert Lea, MN, and others that say he was being awarded the DSC in 1935. At that time he lived in Rochester, MN. and drove a bus as the article states. I wonder if he did receive it or was it someone else with the same name? What else would like to know to help me with this? Thank You
