Congratulations to the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps Hall of Fame Members

Written by Matt Monday on October 19, 2023. Posted in News.

Congratulations to the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps Hall of Fame Members inducted during the 15 May 2023 ceremony and to the members selected for 2024 induction!

The Ordnance Corps Hall of Fame was established in 1969 to recognize and memorialize persons who have made a positive, significant contribution to the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps. Since its inception, the Hall of Fame has grown not only in membership, but also in its value to the Ordnance Corps. In addition to giving permanent recognition to those personnel who have made significant contributions to the Ordnance mission of the U.S. Army, it preserves a substantial amount of historical information about the Ordnance Corps and its distinguished contributors. Promotion of greater awareness is one of the goals of the Ordnance Corps Hall of Fame. Since before the Civil War, the members of the Hall of Fame, through technological advances rarely dreamed of by man, served their country and the Ordnance Corps proudly.
