Special Group of People
I would like to recognize a special group of people. Without these people and millions of Americans like them throughout history, there would be no Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association, no National Rifle Association, no Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, no Article 4, Section 1 of the Ohio Constitution, and we would certainly be living very different lives than the ones we are privileged to live in the greatest nation in human history. Some of us served in peacetime, some in the most difficult and dangerous wartime conditions, but all served the cause of freedom. Military veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice. Let us continue to defend those rights which they and many others have defended, many at a terrible cost.
