Come Friday, two of “America’s Greatest Generation” will be honored at a special birthday party at 2 p.m. at Bayou Crawfish Restaurant in downtown Many. They are Charles I. Davis, who will be 93 on December 15, and Douglas W. Curtis, who turned 92 on Oct. 31. Both are local veterans of World War II.
“We consider it an honor to have the opportunity to put this together for these fine gentlemen,” Gentry said.
Mr. Charles I. Davis served in the U.S. Navy from Dec. 16, 1941 until Feb. 26, 1947. He joined at only sixteen years old after the bombing of Pearl Harbor because he said the attack “[peed] me off.” Davis is a native of Alexandria, but has lived in Sabine Parish for almost fifty years.
