This Weeks Hero Was Suggested By Cindy
Petty Officer 2nd Class Chris Davila
From Sierra Vista, Arizona
On the sixth anniversary of the
terrorist attack on the United States, Petty Officer 2nd Class Chris
Davila raised an American flag over Camp Korean Village, Iraq, he
brought with him from Arizona.
Tuesday, May 6, 2008, Sierra Vista
firefighter and emergency medical technician Chris Davila presented
that flag to Fire Chief Randy Redmond as fellow firefighters looked on.
Monday, May 5, 2008, was Davila’s first day back on the job with the
department after being gone for nearly nine months, with seven of those
months deployed as a Navy Reserve corpsman serving with a Marine unit
near the Jordanian and Syrian border area in Iraq.
And, as luck would have it, on his
first shift saw him responding to a blaze in Sierra Vista. “Right back
to work,” he said with a laugh.
You can read the rest of PO 2nd Class Davila’s story here.
These brave men and women sacrifice so
much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to
enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
