Overview

Mission

Oklahoma Military Heritage Foundation, DBA Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame Foundation, honors the men and women of Oklahoma, living and deceased, who serve or have served in the Uniformed Services of the United States with records of extraordinary service and/or sacrifice to our nation; and to educate the public, especially the state's youth, about service to our nation.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Oklahoma Military Heritage Foundation has formed an important partnership with the Oklahoma History Center. Without this partnership we would not have a base of operation and a permanent site within the Oklahoma Military History Display Area. The Oklahoma History Center provides space for meetings of the OMHF Board and logistical/event planning assistance. The Oklahoma History Center established a permanent home located in the military display area to present all the inductees of the OKMHF. This includes an interactive electronic display 'kiosk' featuring the stories of each member of the Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame. Recognition received at the event from government officials/dignitaries, and from the press are permanently recorded and displayed for public viewing. The Foundation's website at okmhf.org is continually updated and includes access to the interactive and searchable database of all OKMHF honorees.
