Council Work Session — October 20, 2026
The commission is at full membership for the first time in a while and has a busy calendar: Veterans Day ceremony November 11 with the Wright-Patterson base commander speaking, a returning service member honored in the Christmas parade, a Young Marine sponsored to attend Pearl Harbor commemorations, and a veterans car show planned for June 2027.
Military and Veterans Commission — September 23, 2026
Not a single commission member registered for a memorial paver by this year's deadline. Members were urged to sign up themselves and to promote the pavers, benches, and the memorial through city and VA newsletters so more residents know about it.
Military and Veterans Commission — August 26, 2026
The Young Marines are headed to Pearl Harbor in December for a remembrance ceremony and parade, and the commission voted to sponsor one Marine's full trip at the $2,500 platinum tier — contingent on budget availability and city approval.
Military and Veterans Commission — July 22, 2026
The annual Veterans Day event still needs a guest speaker, a pastor for the invocation, and an MC. Two candidates — Rep. Phil Plummer and Judge Brandon McLean — have expressed interest, and the commission hopes to pair Wayne and Wright State JROTC units for the ceremony.
Council Work Session — April 21, 2026
The commission can't meet — it has four vacancies and one member deployed overseas. Recruitment letters went to local veterans' organizations, and the Memorial Day event is still on.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
