Rep. Richardson Votes in Support of House Concurrent Resolution 23

COLUMBUS – State Representative Tracy Richardson (R-Marysville) today voted in support of House Concurrent Resolution 23 – legislation recognizing the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, Chaplain Corps.

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.”

“Today the Ohio House recognized not only 250 years of the great U.S. Armed Forces who protect and defend us, but in particular, the Army Chaplain Corps too,” said Richardson. “Army Chaplains provide service members with the opportunity for worship and prayer in the midst of challenges they face. I am grateful for all of those who served or are currently serving. Go Army!”

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.
