Behind the Scenes | A Peek at Holloways Studio and Life

Greg Holloway is a proud Vietnam Veteran.

He may have only served in country 5 months, 17 days, he made it back home alive.

He made sergeant after being rehabilitated, one and a half years after being deployedand gravely wounded. He would have made it a lot sooner if not for the grenade that nearly took his life. As he was the oldest soldier in his small unit, which patroled the DMZ in A Shau Valley, he was quickly promoted to light weapons team leader.

One detail that he is most proud of is that none of his men was wounded ~ only him.

The Journey of Greg

Greg’s story begins in Harvard, Nebraska, and travels through the wide-open landscapes of Central Nebraska where he was raised—places and people that instilled in him the values of responsibility, perseverance and service. His father Glen, a firefighter who later turned to selling used cars, and his stepfather Davis, each left a mark: from Glen, Greg picked up two cornerstones— a commitment to serve and an ability to charm, connect and earn trust.

In February 1968 Greg enlisted in the U.S. Army, a step that would define many of his values and actions for decades. There is an image of Greg standing in front of the field house: a machine gun slung low across his leg, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. His grandson Connor looked up at that photo and said, “Grandpa, you were cool!” To Greg, the compliment wasn’t just about the image—it meant being seen, being respected and being a model for the next generation.

Now based in Nebraska, Greg brings his background—firefighter roots, sales-smarts, Army-service ethic—into his work supporting veterans, leading in the community and mentoring those coming up. Whether advising veteran policy, supporting local initiatives or simply being a strong presence for his family and friends, Greg shows up. The photo with the gun and cigarette isn’t the story—it’s a symbol. The deeper story is about character, legacy and a life lived with purpose.
