He lived through that battle, went on to serve in the navy during WW2, returned home victorious, started a family, began a vocation in the insurance industry, and then served his country again as a Tennessee state senator for three terms in the 1970’s.
Bill Jim is the only Pearl Harbor survivor left in Tipton County and is one of the very few in the state of Tennessee. He helped establish a veteran’s memorial in Covington, TN and has now written a book describing his adventures in order to document this important time in American history.
In The Greatest Generation, Tom Brokaw writes:
"They came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America -- men and women whose everyday lives of duty, honor, achievement, and courage gave us the world we have today."
Bill Jim Davis is one among many of this country's living treasures. People who have lived a life of service and integrity and whose legacies light the path for those who follow.
Bill Jim resides with his wife Helen in Covington, TN. He has two children, three grandchildren, and one great grandchild.ver menos
