RELATEDPresident Joe Biden presents the Medal of Freedom
One of the first Black commanders to lead an elite unit in combat is receiving the nation's highest award for valor, fixing what advocates viewed as a decades-long injustice. President Joe Biden will award the prestigious honor to retired U.S. Army Col. Paris D. Davis at a White House ceremony Friday.
Davis dragged fellow soldiers to safety despite being wounded himself as he held off a vastly superior enemy force during a 1965 raid on a North Vietnamese army camp in Bong Son, according to the White House. The package of recommendations and supporting documents for a Medal of Honor for Davis was lost at least twice as his nomination bounced around the Army and the Pentagon for nearly six decades.
