Ollis, a twenty-four-year-old infantryman with the Tenth Mountain Division, sacrificed his life to save the officer, demonstrating extraordinary courage and selflessness. The Polish officer, who named his son after Ollis, and family members joined White House officials for the ceremony, where President Trump highlighted Olliss bravery.
