Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame seeks nominees for Class of 2021

The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame is seeking nominations for its 2021 class.

Now in its 28th year, the Hall of Fame recognizes those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and continue to contribute to their communities, state, and nation through exceptional volunteerism, advocacy, professional distinction, public service, or philanthropy.

Each year, the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame inducts up to 20 veterans based on recommendations from an executive committee of veterans from throughout the state and approval from the Ohio governor. The Hall of Fame accepts nominations posthumously.

Last year, the Hall of Fame inducted the Class of 2020 in a series of individual ceremonies. due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization is unsure what form this year’s induction ceremony will take due to the continuing health crisis.

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.

Nomination guidelines, a sample of a completed nomination form, and more information are available on the Hall of Fame Nomination page. You can also learn more about the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame and see the complete list of Hall of Fame inductees.
