WHEREAS, Giving freely of his time, energy, and abilities far beyond what was required or expected, Russell Taylor earned the respect and admiration of all those with whom he served and the gratitude of many. As he reflects on his military tenure, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he provided a valuable service to our country and its allies and established a record of accomplishment worthy of emulation; therefore be it |
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend Russell Taylor on this special accolade and salute him as one of Ohio's finest citizens; and be it further |
