Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 2026 Ohio Military Hall of Fame for Valor inductees. The Ohio Military Hall of Fame for Valor will hold a ceremony at the Statehouse in Columbus on Friday, May 1, 2026 to mark the induction of its 2026 class. Selection for the Hall of Fame is a high honor that has been accorded to fewer than 550 Ohioans since 2000.
