President Biden awards Medal of Honor to Vietnam War veteran Col. Paris Davis

Retired Army Col. Paris Davis, a Vietnam veteran and one of the country’s first Black Special Forces officers, received the Medal of Honor from President Biden Friday, nearly 60 years after he was first nominated. President Joe Biden on Friday recognized him with the Medal of Honor for his gallantry during a firefight in the Vietnam War in which he saved his fellow soldiers despite being injured himself in the process.
