18 Nov 2002 I did not know Ray personally but my sister did. She went to school with him and when he was around, he was always a very nice guy. He is one of our heroes who will not be forgotten. From one who remembers. E-Mail may be forwarded via the Webmaster@VirtualWall.org

 

25 Apr 2003 Ray and I were best friends in High School. He was the kind of friend that stuck by you and he stuck by me. I know he was a good soldier because he was a good man. Thank you God for my friend! garrenpete@msn.com

 

26 May 2006 Although I did not know Sergeant Davis personally, I grew up in the community that he was from. It makes me proud to know that a man from my community was willing to give his life for our nation.
