WINONA LAKE – Medal of Honor recipient Sammy L. Davis will speak at the Tracey Yeager Memorial 5K Monday. The run starts at Winona Lake Park at 9 a.m. Registration is open at www.TYM5K.com and same-day registration is from 7:45 a.m. to race time. Veterans can register for free and family pricing is available. Davis joined the U.S. Army from Indianapolis in 1965. As a private 1st class in November 1967, Davis crossed a river to rescue three wounded soldiers near Cai Lay, Vietnam, while wounded and under enemy fire. A year later, Davis was awarded the Medal of Honor. Established in memory of Winona Lake resident and veteran Tracey Yeager, proceeds from the race benefit the Tracey's Trails Fund, which helps build, improve and maintain areas for outdoor family recreation and fitness in Kosciusko County. The 2014 event raised $35,000 for the Limitless Park in Winona Lake. In its three years, the run has raised nearly $90,000.
