Ohio Milvets Initiatives
MILVETS coordinates with all Armed Services and all Central Ohio Veterans’ organizations. On a small budget MILVETS Seek volunteer units for the parade. Coordinates with local, high school bands. Use active-duty armed service resources (e.g., color guards, fly-overs, etc.)
The Military/Veterans Education Foundation’s focus is on honoring those who served and are serving, and on educating the public in Central Ohio.
Columbus Veterans Day Rally
