Please accept this donation of wreaths in loving memory of my dad, Robert S. Davies, Sr., who proudly served our country in WWII at the age of 16 1/2 yrs old. He remained a lifelong member of the armed forces achieving the rank of Sergeant Major. May he rest in peace knowing that I think of him daily and appreciate all he did to protect our country.
