  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor MSG Kevin M. Davis for 
his courageous valor in Operation Enduring Freedom, OEF, and Operation 
Iraqi Freedom, OIF, and his continued voluntary service in support of 
the mission.
  Master Sergeant Davis is the first sergeant assigned to the Joint Air

joint terminal attack controller and a tactical air controller/
instructor as well as a qualified military freefall jumpmaster, static 
line jumpmaster, Army pathfinder, and Army air assault. He has been 
deployed four times in support of OEF and OIF, where he has always been 
the first to volunteer to serve his country. For his combat heroism, 
Master Sergeant Davis received the Bronze Star with Valor.
  In addition to the Bronze Star, Master Sergeant Davis has received 
numerous awards and decorations, including the Meritorious Service 
Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, 
Iraq Campaign Medal, and the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary and 
Service Medals.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I recognize MSG Kevin M. 
Davis for his admirable service in defense of democracy and freedom. He 
is truly an American hero. I wish him luck with all his future deeds.
