Two Republican state representatives are sponsoring a resolution that designates Ohio’s "Honor and Remember" flag as the state’s official emblem representing sacrifices of those in the armed forces. Representatives Courtney Combs and Joe Uecker say the goal is to establish that flag as a symbol to fly continuously at the Ohio Statehouse in remembrance of fallen military heroes. Tom Michell of the Ohio Honor and Remember organization says residents of the buckeye state have made significant sacrifices. |

| The Honor and Remember flag differs from the Gold Star Service flag which is reserved for military families. The Honor and Remember flag can be flown by all Ohioans. For more information about the flag, go to www.honorandremember.org. |
