Exhibit honoring Macon's only Medal of Honor recipient presented at the Tubman Museum

It was donated to the museum and presented for the anniversary of the Marines Corps.

MACON, Ga. — Rodney Davis is the only Macon native to ever receive the U.S. Medal of Honor.

Davis served in the Marines during the Vietnam War, and he made the ultimate sacrifice when he jumped in front of a grenade to save his comrades.

Thursday, the Community Foundation of Central Georgia presented a nameplate made in Davis' honor at the Tubman Museum. 

The plate was donated to the museum and will be placed in Davis' exhibit.

Davis' sister says she wish she could talk to him one more time.

"Every day, we talk about him. We miss him and every day we love him."

November 10 also marks nearly 250 years of the Marine Corps.
