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 challenges faced by children of military personnel, who often endure frequent relocations, the absence of a parent due to deployment, and the emotional toll of military service. The resolution highlights the strength and resilience of these children and emphasizes the importance of community support in providing a nurturing environment for their growth and development.
The resolution calls upon all Ohioans to acknowledge and advocate for military families, particularly their children, during this designated month. It encourages participation in programs and activities that honor the sacrifices made by military families and reinforces the collective responsibility of citizens to support the well-being of military children. The Senate also directs the Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to Ohio's news media to further promote this important observance.
