Davis was the most decorated

American alive, having received the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, two

Distinguished Service Medals, two Silver Stars, two Legend of Merit awards,

a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, five Presidential Unit citations, and three

Naval Unit citations.

The event, which is free and

open to the public, will be held Oct. 2 in Room 101 of the Harry S. Downs

Center for Continuing Education located on the Clayton State main campus

in Morrow. No advance reservations are required. Attendees will still

be able to hear Davis tell the Chosin story via video, and listen to Chosin

Reservoir survivors recall that 40 degrees-below-zero Korean winter when

they trekked eight miles behind enemy lines to rescue two Marine regiments

who were trapped by a quarter-million Chinese troops.

Davis is survived by his wife

Willa Knox Davis, sons Raymond and Gordon, daughter Willa Kerr, seven

grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. His memory will be preserved

experiences into curriculums in the University's School of Arts &

Sciences.

The Oct. 2 Korean War vet panel

discussion is sponsored in conjunction with Lyceum and Clayton State's

bachelor degrees in History and in Communication and Media Studies.
