Additionally, 3rd ID announces the 2022 inaugural class of 10 inductees of the Distinguished Members of the Division.

In November 2021, 3rd ID officials unveiled the inaugural class, inducting 12 valorous and influential figures. The addition of this new class of Marne Hall of Fame inductees and the Distinguished Members of the Division preserves the division’s legacy by paying respect to past heroes and promoting the unit’s remarkable history.
The 2022 Marne Hall of Fame and Distinguished Members of the Division class will be inducted formally at the 3rd ID Soldier’s Ball on December 2. Staff Sgt. Nelson was inducted at a special ceremony at Fort Carson on October 4.
