Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Welcomes 19 Members of the Class of 2026 From 13 Counties and Four Service Branches
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jim Tressel announced on November 13 that 19 veterans were welcomed into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame during an induction ceremony held the day before in Columbus, the state capital. Hosted by the Ohio Department of Veterans Services, the Hall of Fame honors individuals who served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces and continue to serve their communities, state and nation with distinction after discharge.
"The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame gives us an opportunity to recognize the veterans whose service to Ohio did not end when their military service was complete. They brought the values they learned in uniform back to their communities and used them to make Ohio a stronger place," DeWine said. "Their accomplishments have improved lives, strengthened communities, and set an example for future generations."
"When you look at the men and women being inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame, you are looking at the very best of what it means to lead," Tressel said. "Their commitment to our country didn't end when they took off their uniform. It was just the beginning of another chapter of remarkable service."
Members of the class of 2026 represent 13 Ohio counties and four branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, and join 1,014 Ohio veterans who have been inducted. Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., the retired Army officer who directs the Ohio Department of Veterans Services, said the inductees embody, through commitment, compassion and leadership, the values that strengthen communities across the state. Maj. Gen. Matthew S. Woodruff, Ohio's adjutant general, noted that three of the 19 are Ohio National Guard members.
The class of 2026 is: David A. Babcock (Air Force, Clark County), Christi S. Bartman (Air Force, Delaware County), Janette C. Brown (Air Force, Mahoning County), Ronald S. Clark (Army, Highland County), Robert H. Doyle (Navy, Greene County), Jeffrey R. Earley (Army, Franklin County), J. Warren Keifer (Army, Clark County, posthumous), Jacquelyn Kemp (Army, Franklin County), Justin D. LeHew (Marine Corps, Putnam County), Robert P. Madison (Army, Cuyahoga County), Paul M. Moyer (Air Force, Greene County), Jamie L. Paxton (Air Force, Lucas County), Clifford E. Pinkney (Army, Cuyahoga County), Gary "Doc" Rezabek (Army, Medina County), Gregory A. Roseberry (Air Force, Jackson County), Tim Spradlin (Air Force, Greene County), Mark E. Storer (Army, Franklin County), John W. Tepper (Army, Ross County) and Timothy E. Waechter (Army, Warren County).
The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame was established in 1992 by former Governor George Voinovich to recognize the post-military achievements of outstanding Ohio veterans. Its charter members include the six Ohio veterans who were elected President of the United States, as well as Medal of Honor recipients from Ohio, and honorees include astronauts, entrepreneurs, community leaders, safety officers, veteran advocates and government officials.
