COLUMBUS—State Senator Steve Wilson (R-Maineville) is calling on residents to take a moment to recognize the lifelong achievements of veterans in our community by submitting nominations for the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. In Ohio, March 30 is recognized as Vietnam Veterans Day in honor of all those who served in the Vietnam War. Over 3,000 Ohioans were killed during this conflict, whose names are listed here.
"Many of Ohio's Vietnam veterans served their country proudly and were able to accomplish remarkable things in business, government and other areas of public service when their time in the military was over," said Wilson, who was honorably discharged as a Naval Officer in 1975. "I urge you to nominate any veteran for their lifelong accomplishments by nominating the outstanding individuals in our community for this great honor."
The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame recognizes the efforts of Ohio’s distinguished men and women who have worn the uniform of our nation’s armed forces and then continued to contribute to their communities, state and nation through exceptional acts of volunteerism, advocacy, professional distinction, public service and philanthropy.
The program is not intended to focus on what Ohio military members accomplished while in uniform but rather their contributions to their community outside of and beyond their military service.
