    NASHVILLE, TN, September 01, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "I have met the real Forrest Gump. Not the ninny sitting on a Savannah park bench, prattling about a box of chocolates. His name is Sammy L. Davis and he is a recipient of the Medal of Honor, this nation's highest award for military heroism. The movie "Forrest Gump" borrowed heavily on Davis' real-live exploits in Vietnam, and the footage of Gump receiving his Medal of Honor from President Lyndon Johnson was actually Sammy L. Davis' body with Tom Hanks' head superimposed on it. Davis was pleased to be identified with the fictional Gump, but says his family back in Indiana was into catching catfish, not shrimp."
