CSM (R) Morrissette inducted into

the Finance Corps Association Hall

of Fame

From Babe Ruth to Michael Jordan; from Neil Armstrong to Sally Ride; and from Chuck Berry to
Cher, halls of fame exist across the professions of sports, science, the arts and more to signify

those who’ve made enormous impacts on their professions and left enduring legacies for
generations to come.

This holds true for retired Command Sgt. Maj. Paul L. Morrissette, who was made the third

inductee and first noncommissioned officer inductee of the U.S. Army Finance and Comptroller

Hall of Fame during a special ceremony at the Soldier Support Institute on Fort Jackson, South
Carolina, April 26.

“From the moment he entered into the U.S. Army, he embraced a life of service with a commitment
to defend the freedoms we hold dear,” said Col. Michelle M. Williams, U.S. Army Finance and

Comptroller School commandant and Chief of the Finance Corps. “Throughout his distinguished

career, he faced challenges that tested his resolve, yet he met each obstacle with unwavering
determination and a sense of duty.

Paul exemplified the best of what it means to serve with honor and integrity.”

“Paul was my battle buddy when I served as the commandant here,” recalled Robert
Speer, former acting Secretary of the Army and Assistant Secretary of the Army for

Financial Management and Comptroller. “…He continued to develop, lead and make sure

his legacy of enduring impact was tremendous.”
