     HONORING JAMES I. MOORMAN, OHIO VETERANS HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM JORDAN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 31, 2019

  Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame will hold a 
ceremony in Dublin on November 7 to mark the induction of its 2019 
class. I am honored to commend to the House one of these inductees: 
James I. Moorman of Sidney.
   Mr. Moorman's life and career are a model for all who would commit 
themselves to public service. After his time in the Air Force, he 
joined the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, where as Jail Administrator 
he spearheaded the planning and design of a new 172-bed facility. He 
was recognized by the Law Enforcement Association of Shelby County as 
the 1978 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.
   Mr. Moorman is a life member of the American Legion, AMVETS, 
Disabled American Veterans, Catholic War Veterans, and Vietnam Veterans 
of America. For six years, he was a member of the Shelby County 
Veterans Service Commission.
   He played a key role in helping neighboring Logan County establish 
its own Vets to DC Program, coordinating veterans' trips to Washington 
to visit their memorials on the National Mall at no cost to them.
   Madam Speaker, selection for the Hall of Fame is a high honor 
accorded to no more than twenty Ohioans each year. To be considered, 
individuals must not only serve our nation honorably in the military 
but also reflect the high value of service to others in their post-
military careers.
   I am pleased to join in the accolades for James Moorman and his 
outstanding record of service as he is inducted into the Ohio Veterans 
Hall of Fame.
