William Benjamin Hopkins, Sr. (April 15, 1922 – December 11, 2012) was an American politician, lawyer and military historian.
==Early life and education==
He graduated from Washington and Lee University a semester early in 1942 so he could join the United States Marine Corps. He served in the South Pacific during World War II as part of the Marine's island-hopping operations including Guadalcanal and Bougainville. After returning home, he joined the Marine Corps Reserve and earned a law degree in 1949 from the University of Virginia Law School.
He began practicing law in Roanoke, but was recalled to active duty in 1950 at the beginning of the Korean War. He served as commander of H & S Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Division in the fall and winter of 1950 and was at the Chosin Reservoir and participated in the Chosin breakout when the Marines and United Nations forces were surrounded by tens of thousands of Chinese troops. The Chosin battle was conducted in minus 35-degree weather. Later, he was wounded in January 1951, spent a year at Portsmouth Naval Hospital, Portsmouth, Virginia and returned to his Roanoke law practice in April 1952.
