We also refer to selectees as inductees or honorees. The nominator and honoree will be assigned an OKMHF volunteer called an Ambassador-in-Charge (AIC).
The two of you will work closely to coordinate all the required details for your honoree. The induction event close to Veterans Day is moving and memorable.
The OKMHF typically reviews over 100 nomination packets each year.
Nominees being considered by the Selection Committee must receive a certain minimum qualifying score to be in the running for selection. The top ten scorers become the selectees for the next annual event.

The OKMHF typically reviews over 100 nomination packets each year.
Nominees being considered by the Selection Committee must receive a certain minimum qualifying score to be in the running for selection. The top ten scorers become the selectees for the next annual event.
If a nominee is not selected but receives a minimum qualifying score, then the nominee will be reconsidered in subsequent years by the Selection Committee. It is not necessary for the Nominator to re-submit a new nomination packet each year. However, the Nominator is encouraged to submit any significant new information for addition to the nominee's file.
Nominees may be living or deceased. A number of inductees from past years who were killed in action or killed during their years of military service had little or no civilian public service activities. In their cases, selection is based solely upon their heroic actions and/or extraordinary military service.
Those selected for induction into the Hall of Fame are referred to as inductees or honorees. The nominator and inductee/honoree will be assigned an OKMHF volunteer called an Ambassador-in-Charge (AIC). The two of you will work closely to coordinate all required details for your honoree.
The induction event will be scheduled as close to Veteran’s Day as practical. The induction banquet and ceremony is moving and memorable.
Selection for this award by the OKMHF Board is based upon public service and not valor or heroism as is required for other inductees into the Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame.
It is presented to an individual or organization actively involved in the community promoting good citizenship, continued patriotism beyond military service, and providing assistance to Oklahoma’s veterans and families with the same exemplary dedication that has been the keystone of MG Dollar’s military and civilian careers.
