The 2016 class has been inducted into the Indiana Military Veterans Hall of Fame. At a ceremony last week in Indianapolis, twelve were honored for their service to country and community. The hall was launched in 2013 and in September, officials broke ground on a permanent facility that is slated to open in Lawrence in the spring.

In 2014, the first class of 16 vets was enshrined. The organization is a nonprofit and has inducted a total of 46 vets from throughout the state in three years.

This year’s class includes:

• James M. Brown of Indianapolis
• James Chancellor of Lowell
• Harvey W. Cook (deceased) of Indianapolis
• George N. Craig (deceased) of Brazil
• Robert J. Dorshak (deceased) of Michigan City              
• H. Troy Hanna (deceased) of Noblesville       
• William A. Hoos, Jr. (deceased) of East Chicago
• Daniel Oates of Newburgh
• Edward Placencia of Garrett
• Michael E. Randall, Sr. (deceased) of Noblesville
• Thomas J. Scecina (deceased) of Linton
• Charles R. Williams (deceased) of Indianapolis              

The organization was started by a group of government, business and retired military representatives. It says only a handful of other states have organizations like it. You can connect to more by clicking here.
