                        A RESOLUTION
           Recognizing the Month of the Military Child in Ohio, April
              2024.
     WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly      1
of Ohio are pleased to observe April 2024 as the Month of the Military     2
Child in Ohio; and                                                         3
     WHEREAS, Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger           4
designated April as the Month of the Military Child in 1986 in an          5
effort to increase public knowledge and understanding of the issues        6
surrounding children who have a parent in the military. The dependents     7
of U.S. Armed Forces members are to be acknowledged for their strength     8
and resilience; and                                                        9
     WHEREAS, As military postings frequently change, personnel            10
reassignments and deployments can be difficult for families,               11
especially regarding educational transitions. Military students learn      12
to be resilient as a result of attending multiple school systems from      13
kindergarten through high school graduation, and consequently, their       14
abilities to deal with life-changing events are a source of                15
inspiration; and                                                           16
     WHEREAS, The State of Ohio is committed to easing the efforts of      17
these scholastic transitions for dependents of military families so        18
that they are afforded the same opportunities for success as their         19
peers and are not delayed in achieving their educational goals. By         20
observing the Month of the Military Child and participating in related     21
activities, Ohioans demonstrate their support of the children of U.S.      22
Armed Forces members; therefore be it                                      23
    RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 135th General      24
S. R. No. 315                                                     Page 2
As Introduced
Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, recognize April 2024 as     25

for their tenacity and courage; and be it further                          27
     RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly authenticated 28
copies of this Resolution to the news media of Ohio.                    29
