State Representative Mike Dovilla (R-Berea) yesterday voted in support of House Concurrent Resolution 23 - legislation recognizing the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, Chaplain Corps.
"For two and a half centuries, the United States Army has embodied strength, discipline, and dedication to country," said Dovilla. "From the earliest days of our republic to missions around the world today, America's soldiers have stood ready to defend our freedom and to serve our communities in times of need. I'm proud to support this resolution honoring their extraordinary legacy of service."
The resolution says in part: "That we, the members of the 136th General Assembly of the State of Ohio, in adopting this resolution, recognize the 250th anniversary of the United States Army and of the United States Army, Chaplain Corps."
The United States Army celebrated its 250th anniversary on June 14, 2025, commemorating the Army's distinguished service to our nation. Since its establishment, Army soldiers, families and civilians have supported our nation, providing assistance in times of need, including disaster relief and recovery efforts.
The resolution states: "The Army helps create a sense of purpose through personal growth and professional development - empowering soldiers and civilian employees to be part of something greater than themselves and to be all they can be."
House Concurrent Resolution 23 now moves to the Senate for further consideration.
