My fellow Ohioans, few times in our lives will we ever be able to do something - or refrain from doing something -that will or can save a life. This is one of those rare times.

Throughout history, each generation has faced challenges. Americans have been asked to lay down their lives so that our nation might live. Today, we all must do something far less dramatic - wear a mask so that your friends, neighbors, and family members might live.

All of our living generations are facing the same challenge at the same time. Ohioans have not faced such a collective challenge in 100 years, and whether you are five, 15, 25, 50, or 80 years old, you are facing this same challenge and have the same opportunities.
