Pfc. James William Davis served with the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, India Company. His name stands proudly on the India 3/5 Wall of Honor. Semper fi, Brother Marine. We will never forget.

13 August 1969

They never told us just what we were up against that day. Only that we were to assist 1/7. Little did we know that when we got on line to search and clear, that we were being put directly in line with the heart of the 90th NVA Regiment. The battle lasted seven hours, and five Marines were KIA and thirty three were wounded. 1/7's Battalion commander was also with us when he was KIA. We killed 255 NVA soldiers that day, and broke their hold on the area.

My Father, James W. Davis

I was only 11 months old when my father was killed, so I do not remember him. If anyone should find this please contact me as I would very much like to know what you have to say, especially if you knew him, especially if you fought along side him. Thank you.
