The Ohio Senate has adopted a resolution recognizing April 2025 as the Month of the Military Child in the state. This observance aims to raise public awareness about the unique challenges faced by children of military parents, who often experience frequent relocations, long separations, and the emotional toll of having a parent in harm's way. The resolution highlights the strength and resilience of these children and emphasizes the importance of community support in providing them with a nurturing and stable environment.
The resolution calls on all Ohioans to acknowledge and advocate for military families, particularly their children, during this month. It encourages participation in programs and activities that honor the sacrifices made by military families and reinforces the collective responsibility of society to support youth in their development. The Senate also directs the Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to Ohio's news media to further promote this important observance.
