A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION | To designate the Honor and Remember Flag as Ohio's
emblem of the service and sacrifice by those in
the United States Armed Forces who have given
their lives in the line of duty.
|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO (THE SENATE CONCURRING):
WHEREAS, While war deaths have been a part of our heritage
since the birth of this nation, the United States of America has
not instituted an official symbol commemorating fallen
servicepersons; and |
WHEREAS, The Honor and Remember Flag's red field represents
the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for freedom,
the flag's blue star is a symbol of active service in military
conflict that dates back to World War I, the flag's white border
recognizes the purity of sacrifice, the flag's gold star signifies
the ultimate sacrifice of a warrior in active service who is not
returning home and reflects the value of the life given, the
folded flag element highlights this nation's final tribute to a
fallen serviceperson and a family's sacrifice, and the flag's
flame symbolizes the eternal spirit of the departed; and |
WHEREAS, The Honor and Remember Flag is a unifying symbol
recognizing this nation's solemn debt to the estimated 1.6 million
fallen servicepersons throughout history and the families and
communities who mourn their loss; now therefore be it |
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 129th General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, in adopting this resolution, designate the
Honor and Remember Flag as the State of Ohio's emblem of service
and sacrifice by the brave men and women of the United States
Armed Forces who have given their lives in the line of duty; and
be it further |
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the Ohio
Department of Veterans Services, the Speaker and Clerk of the
United States House of Representatives, the President Pro Tempore
and Secretary of the United States Senate, the members of the Ohio
Congressional delegation, and the news media of Ohio. |
