Whereas General Davis was presented with the Medal of Honor by President Harry 
        Truman for his heroic action in Korea;
Whereas General Davis culminated his extraordinary career in the Marines by 
        serving as Assistant Commandant to the Marine Corps in 1972;
Whereas General Davis has worked tirelessly on behalf of military veterans since 
        his retirement;
Whereas General Davis' determination and initiative led to the approval of the 
        Korean War Veterans Memorial design, construction, and dedication in 
        July of 1995;
Whereas General Davis has devoted a significant amount of time and energy to the 
        ongoing construction of a Georgia War Veterans Memorial Park in Rockdale 
        County, Georgia; and
Whereas General Davis, as an active duty Marine and as a private citizen, has 
        demonstrated exemplary courage, unwavering devotion to duty, inspiring 
        leadership, and sound judgment: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that the President 
should award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to General Raymond G.
