On August 28, 2013, Ollis was stationed at a forward operating base in Ghazni province, Afghanistan. At 3:45 am, a 3,000-pound car bomb breached the eastern perimeter wall of the base. Ten insurgents wearing su***de vests infiltrated the compound. Ollis first accounted for his men; they were safe in a bunker. Then Ollis ran to the sound of gunfire. Insurgents rained mortar shells, shoulder-fired rockets, and hand grenades from outside the post. Ollis linked up with a team of Polish soldiers and US special forces soldiers to engage the attackers.

When a su***de bomber emerged from behind a group of storage containers, Ollis stepped forward to shield a Polish soldier, Lieutenant Karol Cierpica. Ollis, a 24-year old, sacrificed his own life to save Cierpica’s.

Ollis was awarded the Silver Star for his extraordinary bravery. His recognition was later elevated to the Distinguished Service Cross, the second highest military honor in the United States 🇺🇲
We THANK YOU for your service and sacrifice Michael 🇺🇲

The Four Chaplains, were four World War II chaplains who died rescuing civilian and military personnel as the American troop ship SS Dorchester sank on February 3, 1943, in what has been referred to as the second-worst sea disaster of World War II. The Dorchester was a civilian liner converted for military service in World War II as a War Shipping Administration troop transport. She was able to carry slightly more than 900 military passengers and crew.

It was torpedoed by German submarine U-223 off Newfoundland at 12:55 a.m. When Dorchester began to sink, four chaplains of different religions, were helping to calm down the passengers and organized an orderly evacuation. The life vests were passed out to men, but the supply ran out before each man had one.

The four chaplains gave their own life vests to others and helped as many men as they could into the boats, then they linked their arms together, saying prayers and singing hymns, went down with the ship.

Each of the four chaplains was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and the Purple Heart. The chaplains were nominated for the Medal of Honor, but were ineligible as they had not engaged in combat with the enemy. Instead, Congress created a medal for them, with the same weight and importance as the Medal of Honor.

Four U.S. Army chaplains --
Lt. George Fox, a Methodist minister;
Lt. Alexander Goode, a Jewish rabbi;
Lt. John Washington, a Roman Catholic priest; and Lt. Clark Poling, a Dutch Reformed minister – gave their lives as their final act reinforcing today’s vision of the Air Force Chaplains Corps: “To care for Airmen more than anyone thinks possible.”
