ROA congratulates Retired U.S. Army Col. Anthony K. Atlas, Sr. who was inducted into the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps in May during Sustainment Week.
“I remain proud of my 30-plus years of service and the lasting Army fraternity that keeps me in the fold,” said Atlas.
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.
