THE WALL OF FACES

Major Yale Rezin Davis Jr., Served with the 390th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 366th Tactical Fighter Wing, 7th Air Force.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

I knew Yale as my teacher when a 15 yr old trombone student. His manner as a teacher was as mellow as his playing style. I later served in the U.S. Peace Corps after graduating from Wichita U.
May Yale's memory ever be as brilliant as his trombone playing.

Dear Major Yale Davis,
Thank you for your service as a Tactical Aircraft Pilot (Various.) It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Yale today is the 47th anniversary of your death in the aircraft with my beloved late husband Capt. John Reilly. You met your "maker" at the same minute. Your widow and I never met or communicated yet I feel a bond with her on this and every other November 19th.
My son Brian was only 5 weeks old at the time. Brian has grown into a remarkable man with the values you and John held sacred. He is an attorney/author with 3 beautiful daughters. Sarah now 18, Morgan 15, and Claire aged 9. Wow God takes but when he gives he gives abundantly.
Rest in Peace Yale knowing your sacrifice is held in our hearts. Praying for the repose of your soul and for God's peace to your family.
