Georgia Military Veterans
There are over 770,000 military veterans from the great state of Georgia. Many of them contributed greatly to the well being of the United States of America while serving on Active Duty, in the Reserve Forces or the Georgia National Guard. Only a few of those, like the 30 Medal of Honor recipients from Georgia , have ever been honored for their VALOR, ACHIEVEMENT or SERVICE. The Georgia Military Veterans Hall of Fame is dedicated to reviewing and evaluating the Georgia Veterans that are nominated by family, friends or other Veterans and selecting them for induction. They are our state's finest.
