Pew found that transitions to civilian life were difficult as were certain other aspects of civilian life. One third had trouble paying their bills when leaving the military and 47% of post 9/11 veterans said readjustment to civilian life in the military was difficult as against 21% from previous generations.

  • Ohio National Guard Celebrates 228Th Birthday on July 25
    July 21, 2016 Log# 16-09 For Immediate Release Ohio National Guard celebrates 228th birthday on July 25 COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio National Guard was organized on July 25, 1788 — nearly 15 years before Ohio gained statehood — in Marietta, Ohio, as the Northwest Territory Militia. On Monday, the Ohio National Guard turns 228 years old, celebrating more than two centuries of being a trusted team of Soldiers and Airmen serving their communities, state and nation. In honor of the organization’s birthday, here are some notable historical facts about the Ohio National Guard: . On March 25, 1863, Jacob Parrott, a member of Company K, 33rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, became the first recipient of the Medal of Honor, a new military award first presented by the U.S. War Department to six Union Army Soldiers who participated in the Great Locomotive Chase in 1862. Parrott was originally a native of Fairfield County, and settled in Kenton, Ohio after the war, where he is buried. Maj. Gen. Charles Dick, a U.S. senator, Ohio National Guard officer and Akron, Ohio native, sponsored the Militia Act of 1903, which gave increased federal funds and equipment to the National Guard. The act became the most important piece of legislation in Guard history. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Ohio National Guard's mobilization for Mexican Border Service. On June 18, 1916, in accordance with the commands of the President of the United States, the governor called up 7,000 Ohio troops who began to arrive in Texas by late August. On June 20, 1927, Ohio's first air unit, the 37th Division Aviation, was organized at the Central Armory in Cleveland.

  • List of Medal of Honor Recipients - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 28
    List of Medal of Honor recipients - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 28 List of Medal of Honor recipients From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Due to the nature of this medal, it is commonly presented posthumously.[1] The President of the United States, in the name of the United States Congress, has awarded 3,471 Medals of Honor to the nation's soldiers, sailors, A Medal of Honor on display airmen, Marines, and coast guardsmen since the decoration's creation in 1861.[2] The citations highlighting these acts resided in archives, some for more than 100 years and were only sporadically printed. In 1973, the U.S. Senate ordered the citations compiled and printed as Committee on Veterans' Affairs, U.S. Senate, Medal of Honor recipients: 1863–1973 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1973). This book was later updated and reprinted in 1979.[3] The first Army Medal of Honor was awarded to Private Jacob Parrott during the American Civil War for his role in the Great Locomotive Chase. The first African American recipient for this war was William Harvey Carney who, despite being shot in the face, shoulders, arms, and legs, refused to let the American flag touch the ground.

  • Ohio National Guard Ceremony to Honor Medal of Honor Recipients from American Civil War
    April 5, 2012 Log# 12-13 For Immediate Release Ohio National Guard ceremony to honor Medal of Honor recipients from American Civil War COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio National Guard, in partnership with the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board, will commemorate the 150th anniversary of Andrews’ Raiders and the first recipients of the Medal of Honor at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, April 12, in the Museum Gallery at the Ohio Statehouse. Andrews' Raid, also referred to as The Great Locomotive Chase, was a military raid by 22 Ohio Soldiers and two civilians that occurred April 12, 1862, in northern Georgia. The volunteers commandeered a train and traveled north toward Chattanooga, Tenn., doing as much damage as possible to the vital Western & Atlantic Railroad, from Atlanta to Chattanooga. The raiders, pursued by other locomotives, were eventually captured and some were executed as spies. “These Ohio Soldiers volunteered for this mission knowing the dangers that lied ahead of them. However, they felt that their actions could disrupt vital supply routes and help bring the war to an end,” said Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Mann, Ohio Army National Guard historian. On March 25, 1863, Secretary of War and Ohio native Edwin Stanton presented Pvt. Jacob Parrott, a Kenton, Ohio, native, with the first Medal of Honor. Since then, 19 members of Andrews’ Raiders have received the nation’s highest award for valor. The ceremony will be attended by Cpl. Ronald E. Rosser, a Roseville, Ohio, resident, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his service during the Korean War. Rosser’s medal is on display in the Statehouse Museum Gallery.

  • Tribute to the Andrews' Raiders
    Tribute to the Andrews’ Raiders and … Private George Davenport Wilson Private Philip Gephardt Shadrach Preface This tribute is a synopsis of the events of the Andrews Raid. It was prepared day by day and sent via email to friends and family beginning April 6th 2012 during the 150th Anniversary of the Andrews’ Raid. It was intended to provide an awareness, recognition and appreciation of these men and their dedication to the nation. The conditions of their imprisonment, trial by court martial, execution and the escapes are left for another writing. By January 2008 the Medal of Honor for these soldiers had been authorized under Public Law H.R. 4986; sec 564 and 565 respectively for Private Shadrach and Private Wilson and was signed by President George W. Bush. It was anticipated that this honor would finally be awarded to these men sometime during the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War and the events of the Andrews Raid. It is time to fulfil the recognition intended by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and President Abraham Lincoln for all the participants of the Andrews Raid when the very first Medal of Honor was awarded to members of the Andrews Raid on March 25, 1863.
