The requirements to be considered to be included in the Hall of Honor are:

1. To be born or raised in Franklin County or

2. Lived in Franklin County for more than ten years or

3. Lived in Franklin County at the time of entrance into service or

4. Buried in Franklin County or lived in Franklin County and buried in the Veterans Cemetery and

5. The Veteran must have an honorable discharge.

After completing the list of Veterans, the Hall of Honor Committee will organize pictures of Veterans in their uniform, Unit History Books, Military Unit Insignias, Unit Crests, etc. to place on display. We hope to have all the information available for Genealogical research on a computer in the Museum.

As the lists of veterans for each conflict is as complete as the Committee can make them, they will be posted on the web site for the public to review and add to if necessary.  The Committee would like to say a big thank you to all the Veterans, their families and the volunteers working on this project. The Committee truly believes in the words George Washington expressed:

“The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.”
