The group makes up all four branches of the Armed Services, and was hand-picked by Davis himself.

Sergeant First Class Davis is a graduate of Columbia High School, and a recruiter in the United States Army.

Davis is currently stationed in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 3.
