At a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ceremony on April 23, 2021, Lt. Gen. Scott Spellmon, 55th Chief of Engineers, inducted our Dawson & Associates colleague Steve Stockton into the command’s Gallery of Distinguished Civilian Employees.
This collection of 101 portraits stands just outside the Executive Suite in the Corps’ Washington, D.C. Headquarters. More than a pinnacle of achievement for civilian service for Corps retirees, these portraits represent, in Gen. Spellmon’s words, “a source of inspiration [from people who] accomplished great things for our nation.”
