Representative Michelle Teska Honors Warren County Veterans Inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame

State Representative Michelle Teska (R-Clearcreek Township) proudly congratulates four distinguished Warren County veterans who have been selected for induction into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Class of 2025.

"These veterans embody the best of Warren County and the best of Ohio," said Rep. Teska. "Their courage in uniform and their continued service to our communities represent the true spirit of leadership and dedication. I'm deeply honored to celebrate their well-deserved recognition."

This year's inductees from Warren County include:

  • Patrick William Dugan - Marine Corps / Navy / Army
  • Jerry Ferris - Marine Corps
  • Kermit F. Lowery - Air Force / Army
  • Scott A. Sullivan - Air Force

Each of these honorees has made a lasting impact through both military and civilian service. Their induction places them among 20 veterans statewide who represent 12 Ohio counties and four branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The 34th Annual Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at The Ohio State University's Fawcett Center in Columbus. The public is welcome to attend.

The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame was established in 1992 by former Governor George Voinovich to recognize veterans who continue to serve their communities after military service. Since its founding, nearly 1,014 Ohio veterans have been inducted, representing all eras, ranks, and walks of life.

"Their stories remind us that service doesn't end when the uniform comes off," Rep. Teska added. "On behalf of all Warren County residents, I extend heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to these four remarkable veterans for their lifelong commitment to others."
