Honoring Veterans
The Oregon Military Museum Hall of Valor was established in 2012 to recognize and commemorate Oregonians who have demonstrated exceptional valor in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. Oregon Military Recipients of the Hall of Valor have received the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, or Air Force Cross, AND was either born in Oregon, enlisted/drafted/entered service from Oregon, a resident of Oregon, or in the Oregon National Guard. Inductees will be recognized permanently with the new Museum’s Hall of Valor exhibition.

Distinguished Military-Civilian Service Award Recipients
The Oregon Military Museum Project (OMMP) in concert with the Oregon Military Museum establishes the OMM Distinguished Military-Civilian Service Award to recognize those Oregonians who have had exceptional military service as well as outstanding civilian careers. This award supplements the OMM’s highest level of recognition, the Hall of Valor, by honoring Oregonians with distinguished military service records and who translated that military experience into an exemplary civilian career in the public or private sector.
