Late last week, the 2021 Military Police Regimental Hall of Fame Class was announced. The Regiment received almost double the number of nominations that are typically submitted and there were many excellent nominated contenders. Specifically, USAMPS Commandant Brigadier General Niave Knell pointed out that in addition to revised procedures for the Hall of Fame process, there was also a more diverse panel of voting members this year with experience in all COMPOs. This new process and panel produced outstanding feedback and results.
In the MP Corps’ almost 80 year history, over 1 million MPs have served in our Regiment; however only 99 are in our Hall of Fame. This equates to about .01%. We are thrilled to announce that in 2021, the following MPs will join them:
LTG (Ret.) David Quantock
BG (Ret) Mark Spindler
COL (Ret) Robert Abernathy
COL (Ret) Arnold Daxe
COL (Ret) Thomas Keller
COL (Ret) Alexander Mascelli
COL (Ret) Herman Williams
LTC (Ret) Thomas Blair
CSM (Ret) Brenda Curfman
MSG (Ret) Daniel Andrews
MSG (Ret) Natalie Kindrick
SFC (KIA) Wentz Shanaberger
SSG (Ret) Gene Baxley
Our MPRA team extends a huge congratulations to these MPs who have contributed so much to our great Regiment! These MPs will be inducted during Regimental Week, 20-26 September. An in-person induction is planned, along with a virtual option for those who cannot travel.
