- Biographical / historical:
David E. Rainey Jr. was born in Alabama on June 13, 1903. After attending Mississippi State University, Rainey worked at his family farm in the state. But as the Great Depression hit America in the 1930s, he activated his military commission and was in charge of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps. As a military officer, Rainey was stationed in the United States throughout World War II without any combat experience abroad. After the war was over, Rainey was shipped to Japan in 1948, staying there until the conflict on the Korean Peninsula took place in 1950. Rainey lived in Starkville, Mississippi where he passed away on February 19, 1995 and is buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Starkville, MS.
