Hoge's Honored Veterans

HOGE’S MILITARY VETERANS

Anyone who has been in Wold Hall may have seen the two picture frames, next to the double doors, full of small photos of members of Hoge Memorial that served in the Armed Forces, primarily during World War II. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to those individuals as well as other current and former members that served. If you have further information as to where they served or what their job classification was, we would be glad to include that as well. If you know of any members we have missed, please let us know.

We, as members of Hoge, residents of Ohio and citizens of a grateful nation, thank all those who served our country in defense of our God-given rights and freedoms. May God bless them for their dedication, and in some cases, giving the ultimate sacrifice, for us and our loved ones.
