Committee Hears Testimony to Honor Marine Corps’ 250th Anniversary
Summary
Sponsors presented House Concurrent Resolution 21 to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps, highlighting Ohio Marines and honorees such as Corporal Anthony 'Tony' Stein and calling for committee passage to enable state celebrations on Nov. 10.
At a first hearing, a sponsor asked the House Veterans and Military Development Committee to advance House Concurrent Resolution 21 recognizing the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps and to allow celebrations on Nov. 10, the Marine Corps’ birthday.
The sponsor highlighted Ohioans who have served with distinction, including Corporal Anthony "Tony" Stein of Dayton, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in World War II, and noted Ohio’s Marine inductees in the state veterans hall of fame. The sponsor said the resolution was brought forward by Marines in the sponsor’s district and requested committee support so the state can celebrate the service and sacrifices of Marines.
Committee members expressed appreciation; no substantive questions or votes were recorded at the hearing.
The resolution is ceremonial; the committee did not take further action during this meeting.
