Davis selflessly put himself in harm\u2019s way to rescue them from a burning vehicle and was subsequently awarded the Soldier\u2019s Medal during a Fort Campbell ceremony, Jan. 22.

Gen. Andrew Poppas, the 101st Airborne Division\u2019s commanding general, in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re honoring his acts that are an example for us all. It\u2019s who we should be, no matter what the endeavor, and how we should act when we come across an event like he did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That sentiment was echoed during the ceremony by Davis\u2019 platoon leader, 1st Lt. Charles Trumpfheller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s just an all-around good soldier,\u201d Trumpfheller said. \u201cHe\u2019ll do anything for anybody and really, he\u2019s one of those [non-commissioned officers] who you can count on to get things done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staff Sgt.
