Happy Veterans Day! A special thanks to all of our military and their families for their service! It’s truly a Team effort! Following is a picture of my father and his friend while serving in Korea in 1953.

During my childhood, I don’t remember my father talking much about his service. Most of what I will tell you today is either documented in his discharge papers, based on my research, or based on family history.
On 5 November 1952, Roland Davis reported to Montgomery, AL for in processing which consisted of uniform issue and mental and physical exams. I believe his basic training was done at Camp Stoneman, CA per his brother Roosevelt. When the US Army inducted him for the Korean Conflict, my father was 20 years old. Prior to entering the service, he lived with his mother and three brothers in Mobile, AL.
