Lt. Col. Paul Perrone Jr., 21st Theater Sustainment Command, was awarded the 2009 Judge Advocates Association Outstanding Career Armed Services Attorney Award in May in Washington, D.C. The award recognizes the outstanding achievements of career attorneys serving as judge advocates.
“Throughout my career, I have had the good fortune to work for and work with many phenomenal people,” said Lieutenant Colonel Peronne, deputy staff judge advocate.
Lieutenant Colonel Perrone volunteered to deploy in August 2008 during Russia’s military conflict with Georgia as part of European Command’s joint operational task force, which served as the American strategic response to the Russian aggression.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, throughout his career Lieutenant Colonel Perrone has actively sought to positively develop subordinates in order to ensure their future success.
Lieutenant Colonel Perrone said the biggest lesson he learned in his career is “you never do anything alone.”
In almost every officer evaluation report he has received, Lieutenant Colonel Perrone’s supervisors have highlighted his outstanding interpersonal and mentoring skills.
Lieutenant Colonel Perrone is an active member of the Holy Family Catholic Church in Ramstein and a volunteer at Ramstein Elementary School.
He is also actively engaged with youth sporting events with his 7-year-old daughter, who participates in soccer, Irish dance and swimming.
“I am humbled, and I had no idea I was being put in for this award,” Lieutenant Colonel Perrone said. “So I was very surprised when I got it.”
Nominees for the award must be at least 35 years old and are evaluated on professional accomplishments, service to community, leadership, service to the legal profession and development of subordinates.
