He said that was his finest moment in life,"To raise money for a memorial for 28th Infantry Division soldiers who lost their lives, Davis and a German doctor later signed 1,200 prints of a painting titled “A Time for Healing” depicting the recovery of 40 wounded soldiers at Kall Trail.For his military service, Davis was awarded a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart and France’s Croix de Guerre.
