Cant believe they lost his recommendation twice. And they did not give him back pay for more than 40 years. It blows my mind. I am happy for him and the impact he has had in saving his countryman's lives. God bless you Davis.
Once he gets medal he gets back pay to the date of the action probably hundreds of thousands of dollars
Here we go again with the race stuff Joe Biden bringing the country together one step at a time
Well done Capt. Davis, you deserved it. Thank you Mr. President for acknowledging these brave heroes
TRUMP 2023🎉🎉🎉

My father & I took my Vietnam War veteran grandfather to Washington D.C. several years ago for the first time for him to see the Vietnam War Memorial Wall. He got drafted in the late 1960s & he got injured by shrapnel from a land mine (in addition to getting shot), so he got sent home & received a Purple Heart. However, 6 of his buddies didn't make it back home, so before the trip he made a list of all of their names & where they were located on the wall. As he found each on the wall, he got very emotional knowing that he managed to come home (though injured), get married, have 3 sons, & live another 50 years, but 6 of his friends didn't.
I am a tour guide here in DC and I have seen grown men sobbing at the Wall. It was very controversial when first built but is now considered holy ground for so many veterans. My groups are often middle school classes and I take extra time at the Memorial and I read some of the letters that have been left there. They are heartbreaking. The Memorial is so powerful it effects generations that have no connection to that war.
I'm glad your grandfather got to see it.
🇫🇷🇺🇸 Respect
Watching this renewed my hope that we as a people can come together again as a country! We salute you Capt Davis, a job well done and I feel proud to get to watch you get the recognition that’s been denied to you for far too long
Colonel Davis. Thank you for your gallant and faithful service above and beyond the call of duty. On behalf of grateful Vietnam Veterans, all former and present Service members and Patriotic Citizens we salute you!
Regrets on your long delayed recognition for saving others.
Isn’t that how the government works? Far little… too late.
An extraordinary man!
Well deserved, my brother.
That guys more aware and capable to be president than Joe thats the upside down world we live in

The first time it was lost ...it was probably racist; the second time it was Lost was probably to cover up the first time it was lost, and probably politically motivated. 😪😪😪😪🙄🙄🙄🙄
Thank you for your incredible service and honorable life. 🤗😍
Much respect to our president for honoring these heroes and not making it about himself, like the former guy did. I’m surprised he never awarded himself for the biggest bone spurs during the Viet Nam war
No it was asthma even though Joe played college ball, yep another draft dodger
The KILLERS where you at????
And this is what leadership looks like. Thank you Col. Davis for your heroism and patriotism. Thank you, President Biden for reminding us of how important that is.
