Silver Star : The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Master Sergeant Jefferson Donald Davis, United States Army, for gallantry in the face of overwhelming odds and direct hostile aggression as the Team Sergeant of Operational Detachment Alpha 574 (ODA-574), 3d Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), on 5 December 2001, in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM in Afghanistan. Master Sergeant Davis' exceptional courage, dedication to mission and personal sacrifice directly contributed to the current success of both Chairman Harmid Karzai and the Northern Alliance's defeat of Taliban Forces. Master Sergeant Davis' remarkable performance and selfless commitment to his fellow comrades in arms, serves as the standard for others to emulate. Master Sergeant Davis' actions while engaged in combat operations during Operation ENDURING FREEDOM reflects great credit upon himself, the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), and the United States Army.
