CONCURRENT RESOLUTION To designate a week in May each year as Ohio Warrior
Awareness Week and to urge the Governor to issue
an appropriate proclamation.
Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Ohio (The House of Representatives concurring): WHEREAS, The vigilance of the members of the Armed Forces has
been instrumental to the preservation of the freedom, security,
and prosperity enjoyed by the people of the United States; and
WHEREAS, The success of the Armed Forces depends on the
dedicated service of its members, their families, and the civilian
employees of the Department of Defense and the service branches;
and
WHEREAS, The role of the United States as a world leader
requires a military force that is well-trained, well-equipped, and
appropriately sized; and
WHEREAS, Service in the Armed Forces entails special hazards
and demands extraordinary sacrifices from service members and
their families; and
WHEREAS, The support of the families of service members
enhances the effectiveness and capabilities of the Armed Forces;
and
WHEREAS, Public awareness encourages employers to support the
participation of their employees in the National Guard and
Reserve, and cultivates an awareness of the challenges faced by
impaired or disabled service members upon return to civilian
employment; and
WHEREAS, The support of the members of the Armed Forces, who
have been injured while on active duty, and upon their return
encourages productive veteran citizens; and
WHEREAS, The observance of events recognizing the
contributions of the Armed Forces is a tangible and highly
effective way of sustaining morale and improving quality of life
for service members and their families; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 130th General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, designate the week that coincides with Armed
Forces Week each year, as "Ohio Warrior Awareness Week," and urge
the Governor to issue a proclamation calling on the people of
Ohio, and all state agencies and political subdivisions, annually
to observe Ohio Warrior Awareness Week with appropriate ceremonies
and activities; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly
authenticated copies of this resolution to the Governor and to the
news media of Ohio.
