  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Adris Albert 
``Al'' Davis Sr. of Fairlawn, Virginia, who passed away on September 
13, 2022, at the age of 72. Mr. Davis was a patriot and veteran of the 
United States Armed Forces.
  Mr. Davis was born on December 28, 1949, to Albert and Blanche Davis. 
He graduated from Bramwell High School in Bramwell, West Virginia. He 
served in the Marine Corps and the Army Reserve and earned two Purple 
Hearts in the Vietnam War. In the following years, he found purpose in 
helping his fellow veterans. He stayed active in the Veterans of 
Foreign Wars Post No. 1184 in Pulaski and the American Legion Post No. 
58 in Dublin.
  Mr. Davis was also a man of deep faith, belonging to First Missionary 
Baptist Church in Fairlawn and serving as an usher and trustee.
  Mr. Davis was preceded in death by his wife Constance T. Banks-Davis. 
He is survived by his significant other Emily Doucette; sons Michael 
Kelly, Adris ``Hootie'' Davis Jr., and Andrew Primm; daughters Yonnie 
Stinson, Maria Davis-Harris (Tony), Somer Davis, Darnisha Primm, and 
Kendra ``Kenny'' Wright (Quentin); 16 grandchildren; and 10 great-
grandchildren. I offer them my condolences on their loss. Mr. Davis was 
a kind man who never missed an opportunity to serve.
