Birth: Oct. 22, 1962
Watauga
Carter County
Tennessee, USA
Death: Dec. 5, 2001

Army Master Sgt. Davis was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group, Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Davis was one of three U.S. Special Forces soldiers and five Afghan opposition fighters who were killed when a 2,000-pound satellite-guided bomb from a U.S. B-52 (friendly fire) missed its intended target north of Kandahar. Jeff was a 1981 graduate of Elizabethton High School in Elizabethton, Tennessee where he played on the football and basketball teams. He also attended Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, North Carolina, where he played on the football team and studied nursing at East Tennessee State University. In August of 1984 he enlisted as a medical specialist and served in Korea for three years. Jeff is remembered for his fondness for motorcycles. Friends can see him now on his motorcycle, with his vest and his skullcap and a big grin on his face, but he was one of the best soldiers. His awards and decorations include: The Purple Heart Medal, Two Meritorious Service Medals, Two Army Commendation Medals, The Defense of Saudi Arabia Medal, The Liberation and Defense of Kuwait Medal, The Special Forces Tab, The Ranger Tab, The Combat Infantryman’s Badge, The Combat Medic Badge, The Master Parachutist Badge, The Military Freefall Parachutist Badge. Capt Jason Amerine commanded the team that was hit and said that he didn’t want his men remembered as a detachment that was taken out by an errant bomb. “They cannot be remembered that way. They are the best that America has to offer.”

————————
He was a great warrior and one of the first KIA’s in the months
following 9/11, when US forces first deployed into Afghanistan
JD’s death was more tragic since he was a victim of “friendly fire” (I hate that term)
I’ll leave the type of workout over to you but make it an “ass kicker” cause
JD would like that. JD was a big biker”Harley Davidson guy” He left behind a wife
and two kids.
May we never forget!
Semper Fi!

Significance of the WOD numbers:
Harley-Davidson produced large numbers of motorcycles for the US Army in World War II. Harley-Davidson received two Army-Navy “E” Awards, one in 1943 and the other in 1945, which were awarded for Excellence in Production. 12-5, the date MSgt Davis lost his life serving our nation.

    BOLT Family! Thanks for remembering a great American hero today. Unfortunately JD Davis was the first of many casualties of this war during this past decade. On days like today we should all give thanks for all we have. Freedom isnt free it comes at a cost. I’m sorry I was out of town but make it up next week. Happy 4th to all. SEMPER FI!

    Love this group!! Thankful for you all!

    Had to pull out my first journal to find my old time for this! Was trying to think about what weight I would do tomorrow. A year and a half ago I did 65#. Looking forward to hopefully beating my time with a lot more weight! :)

      Don, thanks for sharing JD’s story with us. Doing a hero WOD for him was an experience I’ll always remember. Also, the way you powered through that final round exemplifies what an inspiration you are to all of us. And thank you Matt for putting yesterday together.
