Rep. Newman Votes in Support of Resolution Honoring the U.S. Marine Corps on 250th Anniversary

COLUMBUS—State Representative Johnathan Newman (R-Troy) this week voted in support of House Concurrent Resolution 21 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps.

“’From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli’ and for 250 years the United States Marines have met the highest standard of courage and loyalty unflinching in the face of any threat, ‘first to fight for right and freedom,’” said Rep. Newman. “We owe the highest tribute of honor to all who served on our behalf.”

The resolution states 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 Marine Corps.”

In addition, HCR 21 recognizes the Marine Corps’ motto, “Semper Fidelis,” or “Always Faithful,” and the nearly 38,000 Marines forward deployed around the world on any given day, underscoring the Corp’s role as first responders on an international scale.
