The 3rd Infantry Division is proud to announce the next class of nine inductees to the Marne Hall of Fame, including 107-year-old Silver Star recipient Harold Nelson. The Marne Hall of Fame honors Dogface Soldiers who served in the Division and had a lasting impact on the 3rd Infantry Division, our Army and nation.
Marne Hall of Fame nominees are U.S. military members (Officers, Warrant Officers, Noncommissioned Officers, and Soldiers) of 3rd ID who have brought great honor to the division through deed, sacrifice, or achievement. The 2022 inductees to the Marne Hall of Fame are:
• Sgt. 1st Class Alwyn Cashe
• Capt. Michael Daly
• Staff Sgt. Harold Nelson
• Master Sgt. Juan Negron
• Capt. Arlo Olson
• Sgt. 1st Class Agustin Ramos Calero
• Pvt. Demensio Rivera
• Sgt. 1st Class Paul R. Smith
• Maj. Gen. Keith Ware
The addition of this new class of Marne Hall of Fame inductees 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 formally inducted at the 3rd ID Soldier’s Ball on Dec. 2.
Capt. Arlo L. Olson graduated college from the University of South Dakota in 1940 and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Infantry through the Army’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program.
On Oct. 13, 1943, Olson began to lead his men in a drive across the Volturno River in Italy under heavy enemy fire. Through mountainous terrain for thirteen straight days, Olson “spearheaded the advance of the regiment.”
Later it was observed, “He was one who did not send any of his men into the kind of thing he wouldn’t walk into himself.”
Olson repeatedly led his men in attacks against German forces, personally capturing several enemy positions, until he was mortally wounded during a reconnaissance patrol on Oct. 28, 1943.
Olson was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions at the Volturno River during World War II.
