One of the first Black officers to lead a Special Forces team in combat will receive the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for bravery on the battlefield, nearly 60 years after he distinguished himself during the Vietnam War. President Joe Biden telephoned ret. U.S. Army Col. Paris Davis on Monday, Feb.
“As Military City, USA, we could not be more honored to host the 2024 Congressional Medal of Honor Society Convention,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg said. “The Medal of Honor Society will be immersed into our community by visiting our military hospitals, iconic San Antonio landmarks, and schools to share their patriotism, dedication, and sacrifice to our nation.”
During their visit to schools, Medal of Honor recipients will be introducing their Character Development Program, which focuses on six values: courage, commitment, integrity, sacrifice, citizenship, and patriotism. “This announcement is a testament to San Antonio’s 300-year history with the military,” said Medal of Honor Recipient Major General Patrick Brady. “We are thrilled to spend a week in Military City, USA where we’re confident we will advance the Society’s programs.”
The Congressional Medal of Honor Society, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Medal of Honor, which is this country’s highest award for military valor in action.
