The Florida Veterans’ Hall of Fame Society has rolled out a statewide county and city plaque project for our members. The purpose is to give our Society members additional local recognition beyond the name plates in the Florida State Capital Building. These plaques can also be placed in military museums and other appropriate locations.

If you are interested in having a plaque placed in your county or city, contact your local appropriate authorities to gain approval to hang the plaque in a location that is agreed upon by all parties. After you have permission to hang the plaque, contact Colonel Steve Lewallen (Ret), ed@fvhofsociety.org to initiate the plaque development process or to ask any questions.

The plaque is not expensive. The cost will depend on the number of name plates on the plaque and the number of characters on the name plates. The local members in the county area are responsible for the cost of the plaque.

The plaque will include a QR Code that will link to each of the member bio so the visitor to the plaque can read about each of the members on their phone.

The Society has contracted with an award shop in Tallahassee to provide all of our plaques so that we have uniformity and control over the quality of the plaques. Blank spots on the plaque will be provided to allow room for growth thru the years. Once the plaque is ordered, it will take about 6 weeks to delivery.

The size of the plaque depends on the number of members in your area. This is the Tallahassee plaque. It is our largest plaque with 20 members. It measures 12″ x 15″. All other plaques will be smaller.
