In memory of Gunnery Sergeant Robert Gilbert.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
| WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Gunnery Sergeant Robert Gilbert on the sorrowful occasion of his death; and |
| WHEREAS, Although there are no words to ease the sorrow now felt, surely there is solace in the remembrance of having known such an outstanding individual as Robert Gilbert. A 2000 graduate of Revere High School and a member of the U.S. Marine Corps, he was serving his fifth tour of duty in the Middle East and second in Afghanistan when his platoon was ambushed during a special operations mission and he was critically wounded in the line of duty. His valiant efforts were truly admirable, and his absence will be keenly felt; and |
| WHEREAS, In many significant endeavors, Robert Gilbert always used his talents to the benefit of others, and the laurels of his life stand as a tribute not only to him but also to those he left behind, including his father, Bob. The great traditions of our country's service men and women are an important chapter of American history, and his family and friends can be proud of the sacrifices he made to ensure freedom and justice for all people; and |
| WHEREAS, Although the void his death has created can never be filled, Robert Gilbert will be remembered as a spirited individual who contributed immeasurably to the world around him. It is certain that the world is a richer place for his having been in it, and he will be sorely missed; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, mourn the loss and salute the memory of a truly unique individual, Gunnery Sergeant Robert Gilbert; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the family of Gunnery Sergeant Robert Gilbert. |
