Dear Mr. Beam,
I am writing in support of the dedication of a Maryland bridge or road in memory of Private First Class Justin R. Davis. A Gaithersburg native, PFC. Justin R. Davis, died in Korengal Outpost, Afghanistan (near Kunar Province), on June 25,2006 when he came in contact with indirect fire while on patrol during combat operations. Davis was assigned to the 1st Battaliot,32nd Infantry Regiment,3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), Fort Drum, N.Y. He earned the Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Ribbon, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, and the Afghan Campaign Medal and was 19 years old when he was killed. Justin was an active member of Mt. Calvary Baptist church in Rockville and attended Col. Zadok Magruder High School in Rockville where he played running back on the school's football team and was a member of the Junior ROTC. Prior to his graduation in 2005 he enlisted in the United States Army, undaunted by the fact that our country was involved to two wars at the time. Justin made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and I believe it is very fitting to recognize his service, courage and commitment to Maryland and the United States by dedicating a bridge or road in his honor and memory. Thank you for your consideration and please let me know if you need any other information.
