Black People Magic: Colonel Paris Davis Receives Medal of Honor

Black People Magic celebrates good news no matter how long it takes to get it… and that’s something today’s hero knows a lot about.

Colonel Paris Davis received news this week that he will finally receive his Medal of Honor… almost 60 years after he was nominated for his well-deserved acts of courage during the Vietnam War. 

At the age of 26, Colonel Davis rescued every member of his team from a burst of enemy fire at a North Vietnamese Army Camp despite orders to withdraw. The paperwork for his nomination to receive the highest combat award was lost several times over the years. 

President Biden called the 85-year old veteran on Monday to deliver the good news. Colonel Davis was already a history maker as one of the first Black officers in the Green Berets.

& Remember to always celebrate your magic! xo
