Dorsie William Willis (February 11, 1886 – August 25, 1977) was a United States Army soldier who was wrongly issued a dishonorable discharge in the Brownsville affair of 1906. Raised in Oklahoma, he served in the Army beginning in 1905 and was present when residents of Brownsville, Texas staged a series of shootings in their town that were falsely blamed on soldiers at nearby Fort Brown. Willis regained national attention in the 1970s when the 167 soldiers were pardoned, receiving an honorable discharge and a military pension. Willis was buried with full military honors at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.
