COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Governor-Elect Dr. Amy Acton issued a statement Wednesday recognizing veterans and their service to the state and nation in observance of Veterans Day.
Acton praised the men and women who have served in the military, saying Ohioans owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to those who have put their lives on the line to protect the country.
“Today and every day, we recognize the great contribution of veterans in Ohio and across the country. We owe a great debt to the brave men and women who have put their lives on the line to keep Ohioans safe,” Acton said.
Acton also highlighted Ohio’s history of military service and outlined priorities she said she would pursue as governor to support veterans and their families.
“Ohio has a long and proud legacy of service. As governor, I will fight to ensure that our veterans and their families get the support they need to thrive, from expanding access to healthcare to fighting veteran homelessness,” Acton said.
Her statement emphasized the importance of recognizing veterans not only on Veterans Day but throughout the year, while ensuring those who served have access to the resources and support they need.
