COL. PARIS DAVIS | Every Weapon I Had (Ep. 805)

In this episode, we welcome United States Army Colonel Paris Davis to the show. He is a retired and highly decorated veteran of the US Army Special Forces (aka the Green Berets). He served in Korea and then saw combat during the Vietnam war. He was first nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor in 1965 after a battle in Binh Dinh Provence, Vietnam, but he was not awarded the Medal until March 3rd, 2023.

Let’s get into it…
