A Black Soldier’s Heroism, Overlooked in 1965, May Finally Be Lauded in 2021 (Published 2021)

Comrades repeatedly told the Army that Capt. Paris Davis, one of the first Black officers in the Special Forces, deserved the Medal of Honor. The Army kept losing the paperwork.

Ok Folks... write your congressmen, Senators, whomever.

This guy deserves a recognition he did not get during VN. Hardcore warrior here.

His 'paperwork' kept getting lost during the early '60's and the SF community has pushed for his recognition for MoH for almost 50 years... and been ignored. His brother warriors know what he did. The 'committees' have snubbed him for half-a-century.

Get your SH butts in gear for a warrior. And get this man recognized for what he earned.

Anybody else who doesn't subscribe to the NYT (the article sirh linked above is behind a paywall for me) or simply doesn't trust the NYT to report anything truthfully, can see reporting of this story at American Military News.

Drafting a letter to my Congress Critter right now.

Watch the video.

"We were stacking bodies the way you do canned goods at the grocery store." I assume he's talking about the enemy. I laughed out loud because its about the last thing you'd expect the guy to say on GMA.
