Lt. General James F. Hollingsworth, 33°, US Army (Ret)
Part of this bio was written by:
Imperial Sir F. T. H'Doubler, Jr., M.D., 33°
James Francis Hollingsworth, was born on the family farm near Sanger, Texas, on March 24, 1918 to James Newton Hollingsworth and Mamie Browning Hollingsworth. He was the oldest of four boys, all of whom served in the United States military in World War II.
James was accepted at Texas A & M and earned his way through school by working in a creamery. He would report to work at 4:00 in the morning and then return in the evening to do another shift seven days a week. Because of his heavy schedule of going to school and working, he was not able to participate in varsity athletics but was active in extra-curricular sports. After graduating in 1940, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Army and assigned to the Second Armored Division.
He went on to serve his country with distinction, participating in seven major campaigns extending from the invasion of North Africa in 1942 to the occupation of Berlin in 1945. He was wounded in action five times during this period.
He commanded a regimental-size armored task force and was recognized by General Patton as one of the two best armored battalion commanders in WW II. The Second Armored Division, nicknamed "Hell on Wheels," was honored by being first to enter Berlin following the German surrender.
During this time, from 1940 to 1945, General Hollingsworth rose in rank from Second Lieutenant to Lieutenant Colonel at the ripe old age of 26. He had been properly schooled in the military and was handpicked to be one of our future military leaders. He held many important commands. Here are just a few. In the North Vietnamese Siege at Anloc, "Danger 79er," his call sign during his assignment in Vietnam, is credited with great valor under fire during his two tours of duty. Later, from 1973 to 1976, he was the Commanding General in South Korea of the largest Combat Field Armies (13 Divisions) in the world. His mission was to defend the capital city of Seoul and South Korea from invasion by the North.
Following his return to the United States in 1976 and at the request of Senator Sam Nunn, 33°, Grand Cross, with the approval by the Secretary of the Army, General Hollingsworth was directed to evaluate the U.S. Army's capability and potential to meet the threat of the Warsaw Pact in NATO central Europe. The Hollingsworth Report was presented to the Secretary of Defense, the National Security Council, and the Senate and House Armed Services Committees. The major thrust required an add-on of $46 billion to correct major deficiencies and enhance the U.S. Army's capabilities.
The Hollingsworth Report briefing to the Senate Armed Services Committee brought about the Nunn–Bartlett Senate Armed Services Committee Study of the entire U.S. Forces' capabilities in NATO central Europe. The result of the Senate investigation not only approved the U.S. Army buildup but also the total commitment to the Defense of Europe. This buildup of the U.S. Forces no doubt impacted greatly on the fall of the Berlin Wall, the demise of the Warsaw Pact, and the shortening of the Cold War. By this time, the General had established himself as both a gallant soldier and a statesman. Today he is one of the most decorated living General Officers in our country.
Following his discharge from the United States Army, after 36 years of service, he founded the Hollingsworth Consultants, Inc., and served as President and C.E.O. His Company became a leading consultant for aerospace tactical technology from 1976 to 1997. As a citizen, he is a member of the Chancellor's 21st Century Council of Advisors, Texas A & M University System, an Advisor to the President of Texas A & M University, and a member of the Board of Trustees at the Marine Military Academy, Harlingen, Texas. He serves on many other boards and committees and is in demand as a speaker at universities, high schools, civic clubs, commencements, Scottish Rite Valleys, and the like. He and his wife, Janie Harris Hollingsworth, have donated and willed over $3 million to Texas A & M University, Corps of Cadets.
General Hollingsworth did not have the opportunity to start his Masonic work until 1946 at Fort Riley, Kansas. There he completed his Entered Apprentice and Fellowcraft Degrees, but not until 1952, when he returned to the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, was he able to become a Master Mason and 32° Scottish Rite Mason. He received his Thirty-third Degree, Inspector General Honorary, in Washington, D.C., in 1999. He is a member of Alzafar Shrine Center in San Antonio, Texas, and his parents and grandparents are buried in a Masonic cemetery in Valley View, Texas.
General Hollingsworth served with the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University and is the most decorated general officer in the history of the school. On September 10, 1999 was the unveiling of the magnificent seven-foot-tall bronze statue of General Hollingsworth on the Texas A & M University campus at College Station, only the third such honor bestowed on a graduate of Texas A & M. Following the unveiling of the statue, review of the troops, speeches, and other ceremonies, there was a reception. History will remember Lieutenant General James Francis Hollingsworth as a great American patriot, family man, fraternalist, philanthropist, superb soldier, and statesman who then went on to excel in the business world.
He is a person who has always led by example and who is convinced that our nation's youth is the greatest resource of our country and that by example we must show them the way.
When he graduated from Texas A&M University in 1940 with a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. LTG Hollingsworth then served in the 2nd Armored Division in World War II. During this period he served as a Platoon Leader, Company Commander, Battalion Commander, Regimental Commander and Task Force Commander. LTG Hollingsworth also served two tours in Vietnam (1966-1967) and (1971-1972).
His combat actions and personal leadership in World War II and Vietnam contributed to the honor of the U.S. Military by being the only General Officer in the history of the U.S. Military to receive the 2nd highest award for valor and courage, the Distinguished Service Cross three times along with being awarded the Purple Heart six times for wounds sustained in battle.
General Hollingsworth passed away quietly in his home with his loving devoted wife, Janie, holding a private vigil by his side for days. A few friends remained close while this brave honored gentleman slipped away. The nation will long remember the service of this man. Those of us who were privileged to be near were aware we were in the presence of real greatness. He was preceded in death by both of his parents, James Newton and Mamie Browning Hollingsworth; his brother Cecil, his only son, James Francis Hollingsworth, II and his first wife, Katherine Elizabeth Nicholson Hollingsworth. Mourning his loss are his wife Janie, brothers Ross Hollingsworth, and his wife, Gerald Hollingsworth, and his wife, and sister-in-law Mrs Cecil Hollingsworth; also, many nieces, nephews, and friends.
