Thanks, Sergeant Davis, for your service to our country ...
You certainly won't ever be forgotten ... Your seven years of service
in the Marine Corps were filled with "Top in your class" awards.

Very few Marines ever make DRILL INSTRUCTOR.
You, Sir, were one of the best ...
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

From a high school friend and classmate,

A note from The Virtual Wall

Staff Sergeant Nevitt Davis was assigned to the 3rd Force Recon Company, 3rd Recon Battalion. It seems clear SSgt Davis was not on his first tour in Vietnam; in the photograph at the top of the page he is wearing ribbons for the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Vietnam service, among others.
