In 2020, four women entered the Hall of Fame

The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame was created in 1992 to recognize the post-military achievements of Ohio’s outstanding veterans. Since its inception, 895 Ohio veterans have been inducted into the Hall of Fame representing all eras, branches and walks of life.

Charter members of the Class of 1993 included the six Ohio military veterans who were elected President of the United States and all Medal of Honor recipients from Ohio. Honorees include astronauts, volunteers, community leaders, safety officers, veteran advocates and former government officials.

In total, 71 women are in the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame.
