Growing up, Hopkins was inspired by his grandfather’s stories about his flying adventures — although according to Hopkins, his grandfather was always very humble about his tales.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - As a child, Harrison Hopkins was always running around playing and was full of energy. It was very apparent to him at a young age that with his personality, he would be joining the military service. However, that wasn’t the only reason he wanted to enlist — it was also his roots.
Now a third-generation soldier, Hopkins is following in both his great-grandfather’s and grandfather’s footsteps. His great-grandfather served in World War II and a few decades later, his grandfather fought in the Vietnam War. His grandfather, Hopkins said, earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart during his time in the war.
However, Hopkins’ military career path took a slightly different journey after he was reached out to by a recruiter.
