Rep. Demetriou Votes in Support of House Concurrent Resolution 23

State Representative Steve Demetriou (R-Bainbridge Twp.) voted in support of House Concurrent Resolution 23 – legislation recognizing the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, Chaplain Corps.

“As a proud U.S. Army veteran, I was honored to support this resolution recognizing 250 years of the Army’s service to our nation. The Army’s legacy is built on courage, discipline, and sacrifice—values that continue to guide so many of us, including myself, long after we hang up the uniform. It’s important that we take time to honor the men and women who have defended our freedoms and continue to serve with integrity and devotion.”

The resolution says in part: “That we, the members of the 136th General Assembly of the State of Ohio, in adopting this resolution, recognize the 250th anniversary of the United States Army and of the United States Army, Chaplain Corps.”

The United States Army celebrated its 250th anniversary on June 14, 2025, commemorating the Army's distinguished service to our nation. Since its establishment, Army soldiers, families and civilians have supported our nation, providing assistance in times of need, including disaster relief and recovery efforts. 

The resolution states: “The Army helps create a sense of purpose through personal growth and professional development – empowering soldiers and civilian employees to be part of something greater than themselves and to be all they can be.”

House Concurrent Resolution 23 now moves to the Senate for further consideration.
