THE WALL OF FACES

Sergeant Ronald Charles Davis, Served with Company B, 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Ronnie was my uncle (mother’s brother) and he was KIA in Vietnam several months before I was born. I’ve always felt robbed of the opportunity to know him, especially since the family members often tell me that he an I would have gotten along famously as we have similar dispositions. I’ve always felt “close” to him, despite never having met him, I keep his memory alive. Recently, the signs marking a scenic byway which bear his name were replaced by the historical society and our family got together in remembrance. It was a great day and to see so many people from the community donate to upkeep the signs was heartwarming. Today, Memorial Day 2022, my wife and I visited Ronnie’s grave and said a prayer. We added a flag. And again, I keep his memory alive.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from C Blake is poignant. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

Dear Sgt Ronald Davis,

and meeting Sgt. Davis' parents in the late 80s.
