Other area honorees are Army and Ohio Army National Guard veteran Timothy A. Espich of Clark County; Army veteran Glenn H. Grismere of Warren County; Air Force veteran Daniel R. Kirkpatrick of Greene County; and Air Force veteran David G. Meyer of Montgomery County.
Gov. Mike DeWine announced the honorees during a Tuesday press conference.
Instead of the traditional Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame induction ceremony, honorees will receive their medals and certificates in a way that allows for social distancing. A virtual induction program will debut Nov. 5 at OhioVets.gov.
This year’s inductees will join nearly 900 other Ohio veterans. The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame was established in 1992 by former Gov. George Voinovich to recognize the post-military achievements of outstanding Ohio veterans.
