GMIAA Hall of Fame

To nominate someone for the Georgia Military Institute's Hall of Fame, you will need to gather all the necessary documents and information about the nominee, such as their name, contact information, military service history, and any relevant achievements or contributions to GMI.

You will also need to write a letter of recommendation explaining why the nominee deserves to be inducted into the GMI Hall of Fame, highlighting their outstanding military career, leadership qualities, and/or their contributions to GMI as cadre or alumnus.
