In honor of USAF SSgt Timothy P. Davis, 28, who was killed on Feburary, 20 2009 supporting operations in OEF when his vehicle was struck by an IED. Timothy is survived by his wife Megan and one-year old son T.J.

Davis, who was a combat controller with the 23rd Special Tactics Squadron at Hurlburt Field, Fla., had enlisted in the Air Force in 1999, training first as a survival, evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE) instructor. He entered training for the CCT field in June 2003 and two years later was assigned to the CCT Silver Team. He also qualified as a joint terminal attack controller. He was on his second deployment to Afghanistan as a JTAC at the time of his death. Maj. Travis Woodworth, 23rd STS acting commander said, "Tim was one of the first squadron members to volunteer for this recent deployment, despite just getting back from one less than a year ago." Woodworth noted, too, that Davis was "the epitome of the quiet professional that we in the Special Operations community strive to be." (AFSOC report by Capt. Laura Ropelis)

“He would be the first one in and the last one out,” his dad stated. “He hated what was going on around the world and wanted to make a difference.”
