Anthony Davis trained and mentored Iraqi army members and delivered food and relief supplies to poor villages. He was part of a team that assessed schools and then planned renovations and organized supplies.
His daughter Diana, 18, also collected soccer balls to ship to her father, who distributed them to children on his missions.
“Anthony volunteered for humanitarian assistance duty so he could devote himself to the soccer ball plan and really reach out to the surrounding Iraqi communities in need of assistance,” said Joe Albuquerque of the Kerril Woods Homeowner’s Association.

I worked for Msg. Davis while in Iraq we went out on missions together, this was something we never expected but feared. I could tell right away he was a good man who always put himself in others' shoes.
