Pope B. Holliday, Jr.

A native of Athens, Georgia, Pope B. 'Doc' Holliday, Jr. would go on to fame as an officer with the 82nd Airborne during World War II and later serve as a Medical Service Corps officer with the fledgling Army Air Force Air Rescue Service, earning a Bronze Star for his actions in saving the crew of a stricken B-17 Flying Fortress that had crashed into the Nicaraguan jungle.

He left the service and served as a pediatrician in Chattanooga, Tennessee until his death in 2003.
