“Not before me”…..chills
Just say his name in the headline, he deserves more respect NBC
Trolls are trying to say that he's not black. Oy.
Black Patriots papers seems to always get lost.??
He didn’t vote for Biden. So he ain’t Black.
NATO when people form sleeper cells would you not assume they are thinking? About maybe being caught? So to even if caught not actually be caught.. why not mess around with intelligences.. and just create some crazy track of searching.. your thinking but you assume your enemy is dull minded at best and that is a danger.. and you don't understand that a person who is multiracial legally can have heritage to your very worst enemy of wars.. but also your president.. so having your opponent heritage or citizenship is not exactly a thing.. we can wake up america 100% today.. the only way to wake up america is to explain the truth and what did just happen in detail.. this is not going to war but you are damaging our planet.. we are all set back due to you.. we need to expand and ensure we do not run out of supplies to remain here..
It may not just be racism.. it may have begun as herd management here of Europe.. Europe scheemed on USA that is very documented USA went to war to not pay.. we didn't come from Europe we walked from Russia..
True heroes?! What about YOUR WAR CIMES USA? Do you feel like heroes in your wars? Curious what is Vietnam for you? How do you like the results: https://youtu.be/kMzJvwG2rsQ
Well deserved. Thank you for your service but once again they make it about race instead of focusing on what we (as a people of this country) could accomplish together. How do they really know it was racism? Give us proof next time "reporters" instead of spinning it as racism for your ratings.
Dark bum , 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕ya dig
Godbless you Colonel Davis,your an amazing American!
Great American!
Why does BLACK matter
All because he's black.
Lol
That sums up the black holes in space .
True Hero!!!
What a remarkable man! America needs more men like him. Colonel Davis, thank you for your great sacrifice and service and enduring for so long the injustice of not receiving your medal! I wouldn't be surprised to see racist trolls, Neo-Nazis, and the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz spew hate and conspiracy theories about this most honorable event.
How morally wrong was US unprovoke invasion of vietnam.
Amazing Story!❤️🇺🇸So proud 🥰Thank you for your service. You are a National Treasure 🇺🇸❤️Col. Davis🇺🇸❤️
This is what an honorable, courageous man looks like! There is no greater act of love & compassion than to put your life in harm's way to save your comrades. I salute you, Sir!
Thank you for your service Colonel Davis. You make me proud to be an American. May you be ever blessed.
