  • Nominate a Veteran for the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame

    Nominate a Veteran for the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame

    The deadline for submitting nominations for the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame is set for June 1, which means this spring is an ideal time for Loveland Area residents to identify some of the outstanding former service members who are excelling and making a difference in society.

    The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame recognizes those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and continue to contribute to our communities, state, and nation through exceptional acts of volunteerism, advocacy, professional distinction, public service, or philanthropy. However, it is up to the public – not the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame – to submit nominations, which are reviewed by the 13-member Hall of Fame Executive Committee that recommends up to 20 Ohio veterans each year. Final approval on each class comes from the Governor of Ohio.

    Hall of Fame Class of 2023

    Last year, the Hall of Fame celebrated the Class of 2023 during a public ceremony at Ohio State University’s Fawcett Center in Columbus. The Class of 2024 also will be recognized at that same venue this November. But first will be the matter of accepting nominations that illuminate outstanding service after service.

    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

    (Note: The Hall of Fame accepts nominations for those who would be inducted posthumously.)

    You more than likely know a veteran who continues to serve selflessly in his or her post-military life – a former service member who is going above and beyond to impact others.

    The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame is home to more than 300 Medal of Honor recipients and more than 600 amazing men and women since its inception in 1992, including the likes of former presidents Ulysses Grant and William McKinley; astronauts John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, and Kathryn Sullivan; legendary coaches Paul Brown and Woody Hayes; Academy Award-winning actors Paul Newman and Clark Gable; renowned judge and activist Sara Harper; and successful restauranteurs Bob Evans and Dave Thomas.

    Still, you don’t have to be famous to be considered for the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. Honorees come from all backgrounds, eras, and branches of service, and nearly every county in Ohio has produced at least one Hall of Famer.

    Again, the nomination deadline is June 1. Nomination guidelines, a sample of a completed nomination form and more information are available at our Hall of Fame Nomination page.

  • “Heroes of Character” Nominations Being Accepted

    “Heroes of Character” Nominations Being Accepted

    Nominations are now being accepted for the “Heroes of Character” awards, due on May 15th. Several local students and adults will be recognized at the “Heroes of Character” Celebration on October 25th. The Celebration is being hosted by the Southeast Indiana Coalition of the Character Council of Greater Cincinnati.  

    “This will be our seventh “Heroes” Celebration. What a delight to celebrate outstanding individuals whose stories of overcoming obstacles, career-long service to the community, and generosity to others provide hope and inspiration. We honor them for their role as models and leaders of character in the community,” said Mary Andres Russell, Board of Directors’ member of the Character Council.  

    The Character Council is currently seeking nominations for children and adults who embody the spirit of their positive character qualities.  Nominations may be submitted by teachers, co-workers, friends, or a coach. The council is asking for a brief description which conveys examples of his or her exemplary behavior, how their behaviors and dispositions show character qualities in action, and obstacles they have overcome.  Nomination forms are available on the Character Council website, www.charactercincinnati.org.      

    Proceeds from the benefit will support Character awareness campaign via multiple media platforms, Character training for schools, non-profits, and government organizations that would otherwise be unable to afford training, and general operations which includes support of “Communities of Character.”   

    The Character Council serves Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeastern Indiana.  It is a non-profit organization whose mission is to foster character development in children and adults as a foundation for success.

    Through seminars, events, consulting, books, emails, and media promotions, the Character Council encourages the development of 49 positive character qualities, helps individuals discover the best in themselves, and helps business, education, government, and faith-based organizations facilitate positive cultural change.

    The Council is working to create “Communities of Character” across Greater Cincinnati where businesses, schools, government agencies, faith organizations, and the media work together to promote good character.  Partner schools, businesses, and non-profits see results in improved behavior and outcomes. In 2017, the Council reached over 202,575 people with inspiring messages through partnerships with more than 75 organizations.
