“Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and it is important that we continue to honor his legacy. As Chair of the New York State Senate Veterans, Homeland Security, and Military Affairs Committee, it has been a priority for me to ensure that Staff Sergeant Ollis is remembered both statewide and in his hometown. A son of Staten Island, Staff Sergeant Ollis is a hero for our borough, our state, and our nation. His sacrifice will be remembered by those who knew him, by those who served alongside him, and by the next generation as they learn about what it means to be a hero,” said New York State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, Chair of the New York State Senate Veterans, Homeland Security, and Military Affairs Committee.
