The bill proposes the enactment of section 5.63 of the Revised Code to officially designate August 26th as "Abbey Gate Remembrance Day." This day is intended to honor the memory of twelve members of the United States armed forces who lost their lives during an attack at the Abbey Gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, while supporting Operation Allies Refuge in 2021. The bill specifically names each of the fallen service members, including hospital corpsman Maxton W. Soviak and sergeant Nicole L. Gee, among others.

By establishing this remembrance day, the bill aims to recognize the sacrifices made by these individuals and ensure that their contributions are not forgotten. The inclusion of their names in the legal text serves to commemorate their service and the tragic circumstances of their deaths, fostering a sense of remembrance and respect within the community and the state of Ohio.
