Our Hero’s story

Lt. Col George A. Davis Jr. was a distinguished World War II and Korean War veteran who, on February 10th, 1952, valiantly engaged 12 Soviet MiG-15s while protecting allied fighter-bombers. Despite managing to shoot down 2 MiGs, his aircraft succumbed to a direct hit, spiraling out of control and crashing into a mountain, about 30 miles south of the Yalu River.

Lt. Col Davis’s remains were recovered by the Chinese and have since been housed in one of their museums as a war trophy. Our campaign aims to bring his remains home, where they rightfully belong, and ensure that he is laid to rest with the honor and respect befitting his sacrifice.
