Dear Neighbor,
We were notified by the White House that Staten Island’s hometown hero, U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis, has been approved for the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary act of heroism. In 2013, Staff Sergeant Ollis gave his life to save an allied soldier, and his courage, selflessness, and sacrifice represent the very best of our nation.
Staff Sergeant Ollis’ final act was worthy of the Medal of Honor and after years of advocacy from the American Legion, our elected officials, and the Staten Island community, we are grateful to President Donald Trump for recognizing Staff Sergeant Ollis’ extraordinary heroism with our nation’s highest military honor.
This is a very proud moment for the Ollis family and our entire community. We will forever honor Staff Sergeant Ollis’ service, sacrifice, and enduring legacy as one of our nation’s finest heroes.
