As part of the celebration, ODNR is seeking submissions of letters or messages Ohio service members sent to their families and loved ones 💌

These letters will be a part of a new trail called The Letters to Home Trail, that will be constructed at Mohican State Forest near the Mohican-Memorial Shrine (pictured). This shrine honors the nearly 20,000 people who died in conflicts from World War II to the present day.

The trail will include a series of signs, sharing the meaningful words Ohio's service men and women communicated home while serving in the United States military during times of conflict. The messages can be in the form of letters, emails, voicemails, or even text messages.

Submit a message: https://bit.ly/4dDfHYD

Submissions will be accepted through August 10, 2026.
