The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has introduced a concurrent resolution, H.C.R. No. 2025-2026, which expresses support for the establishment of a new Veterans Administration National Cemetery on state-owned land in Chillicothe. The resolution highlights the historical significance of Chillicothe, noting its role during World War I as the site of Camp Sherman, a major training center for soldiers. The area has a longstanding connection to veterans' services, as it is home to the Chillicothe VA Medical Center and was previously the location of the first hospital operated by the Veterans Bureau.

The resolution calls for the use of suitable land located to the north and west of the existing Veterans Administration facility for the proposed cemetery. It emphasizes the importance of honoring veterans and ensuring they have a dignified resting place. The resolution mandates that copies be sent to various officials, including the Governor and the United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs, to advocate for the cemetery's establishment.
