The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame is accepting nominations to recognize those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and continue to contribute to their communities, state, and nation through exceptional acts of volunteerism, advocacy, professional distinction, public service, or philanthropy.
Each year, the Hall of Fame inducts up to 20 former service members based on recommendations from an Executive Committee of veterans from throughout the state and approval from the governor of Ohio.
To be considered, the veteran must meet the following criteria:
• Be a past or current Ohio resident;
• Have received an honorable discharge;
• Be of good moral character.
The Hall of Fame sets the standard for recognizing Ohio’s veterans for accomplishments beyond their military service.
The nomination deadline is June 1, 2020. Guidelines, a sample nomination, and information are available at Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame.
For more information, call 614-752-8941 or visit Hall of Fame. Questions should be directed to Sandra Puskarcik, program administrator, Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame, Ohio Department of Veterans Services, 77 S. High St., Columbus, Ohio 43215.
