Sammy Davis – Vietnam War Medal of Honor Recipient – Autographed Bicentennial First Day

Description

Details:

Sammy Davis autographed official first day cover commemorating the Bicentennial and the Surrender of General Burgoyne at Saratoga, postmarked October 7, 1977, in Schuylerville, New York. The cachet honors the pivotal 1777 Revolutionary War battle and features a reproduction of John Trumbull’s painting, “Surrender at Saratoga,” along with a 13¢ US Bicentennial stamp.

Fine condition.

Sammy L. Davis (b. 1946) received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War. On November 18, 1967, despite being wounded, he manned a howitzer and crossed a river to rescue fellow soldiers during a brutal enemy assault at Firebase Cudgel. His courage earned him comparisons to the fictional Forrest Gump, as actual footage of his medal ceremony was used in the film.
