Staff Sergeant Davis is one of fourteen killed when their C-47 crashed en route to the first exhibition of the season.
They were the Golden Knights United States Army Parachute Team.
They are not included on the Vietnam Memorial because they were killed Stateside.
SSgt. Davis is represented on the Remembrance Rug by symbol #5738.
The C-47 crashed into a corn field one hour after departure. The accident killed all on board, including 11 members of the United States Army Parachute Team Golden Knights, a flight crew of two, and a crew chief.
Cause of the crash was determined to be overloaded - due to the fact a heavy metal plating floor had been added in Vietnam but not entered in the log book. The aircraft was also flying in poor weather conditions.
