"His life is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made by our National Guard members, who balance their roles as citizens, first responders, and soldiers. His career was defined by service - to his country and to New York City."
"Major Sorffly Davius died Friday at Camp Buehring in Kuwait. She described Davius as a true Citizen Soldier, a devoted husband, and father. Davius had served in the 42nd Infantry Division in the U.S. Army National Guard and rose to the rank of Major."
"Today, and always, we keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. May we never forget Officer Davius' sacrifice and may his memory be a blessing."
Major Sorffly Davius, a New York City police officer serving with the 42nd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army National Guard, died Friday at Camp Buehring in Kuwait during Operation Epic Fury. Davius joined the NYPD in 2014 and was assigned to the 79th Precinct. Prior to his overseas deployment, he served with distinction on Joint Task Force Empire Shield, a New York National Guard security unit protecting the state's critical locations. Governor Kathy Hochul, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch honored his service to both his country and New York City. His death marks one of seven U.S. service members killed since recent military operations in the Middle East began.
