Samuel Benjamin Hollis, U.S. Army retired, receives the Golden Knights wooden baton during the 2025 Beaufort Air Show at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, April 12, 2025. Hollis, a proud World War II veteran, is celebrating a remarkable milestone this year—his 100th birthday. Born in 1925 in the small town of Mayfield, Georgia, Samuel, affectionately known as “Bennie” in his youth, was drafted into the U.S. Armed Forces at just 17, shortly after graduating from high school.
