Ott and Jill Holleman are pictured on their wedding day in El Paso, Texas 55 years ago. Randy Holleman, Ott’s brother, who served as best man, and Carrie Anna Holleman Mabrey, Ott’s sister, stood with the couple while the company commander at Fort Bliss in Texas performed the wedding ceremony. Ott and Jill were later stationed in West Berlin, Germany, where Ott was assigned to Service Company USAREUR, less than a mile from where President Reagan told Mr. Gorbechav to “tear down that wall.” Jill and Ott had many friends in West Berlin and they once traveled to East Berlin where the Russian Guards checked their papers at Checkpoint Charlie, now a historic landmark. Jill is a Nurse Practitioner with the Muscogee Nation Department of Health and a proud member of the Muscogee Nation, as are all of the their children: Heather, Cassie, Brianne, Ott III and Luke.
