Dear GMVHOF 2024 Inductees,
 
The GMVHOF Founder, Colonel (Ret) Paul Longgrear, the Board of Directors, and all previous Hall of Fame Inductees take great pride and pleasure in extending our sincere congratulations to you on your well-deserved selection for induction into the GMVHOF.
 
Your fifteen (15) Nomination Packets were part of a total of 130 Nomination Packets from the years of 2022 (44 packets), 2023 (32 packets) and 2024 (54 packets) that were evaluated and scored by the GMVHOF Independent Selection Committee (ISC) which was composed of ten (10) highly honorable and dedicated Georgia Veterans. The evaluation and selection process by the ISC was done in total secrecy and absolutely void of any outside influence. You will be proud to know that your sterling active duty and/or reserve component duty record and post military life served you well and gained for you this very rare and highly noble honor.
 
The Class of 2024 will be the twelfth (12th) class inducted since the inception of the GMVHOF in 2013. Since then, including your class, a total of 192 Georgia Veterans will have been inducted out of 519 Nominations.
