Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame Board Members

OUR TEAM

OKMHF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with an all-volunteer Board of ambassadors dedicated to finding and recognizing Oklahoma’s military heroes. This is a year-round operation and truly a labor of love. 

The OKMHF Team spends the entire year preparing, organizing, researching, searching for relatives, coordinating, sending out newsletters, seeking “home-grown” Medal of Honor recipients, conducting a selection review of nominees, and raising funds for the next Banquet Induction ceremony.
