36 SAR MAGAZINE Obhof was selected because of his work on Senate Bill 165 during the 129th General Assembly. Senate Bill 165, known as the "Founding Documents Bill," requires the state's history curriculum standards to include the study of Ohio's and the nation's founding documents. Specifically, the bill adds the texts of the Declaration of Independence, the Northwest Ordinance, the U.S. Constitution, and the Ohio Constitution to Ohio's history curiculum. Cincinnati Chapter Cincinnati Chapter President Don McGraw presented the Wounded Warrior Award to retired Petty Officer 3rd Class William A. Hargis on Nov. 16, 2013. During World War II, Hargis served aboard the USS Callaghan when it was hit by a kamikaze attack near Okinawa, Japan. Hargis spent nearly seven hours in the water, clinging to a crate until he and his fellow crewmen were rescued. Henry Knox Chapter Members of the General Henry Knox Chapter (above) placed a stone marker at the grave of Thomas Davis in the Mound View Cemetery in Mount Vernon, Ohio, on Oct. 12, 2013. Davis served three years in the Maryland Militia. Five chapters of the SAR and DAR attended. Lynn McCann, Gen.
