Pearl Harbor Day: Remembering My Late Father, Edward Miller Davis


Every December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day, I think of my late father, Edward Miller Davis, who died on this day in 1976. He was 57.

My brother Eddie and I noted at the time that he would have liked to have passed on December 7th, as he was a proud World War II Navy veteran.

He was a chief Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) frogman and fought in the Pacific battles on Tinian, Saipan and the Philippines.

Below is a photo of my father (in the center) with his team, UDT 5:
