'Over 500 retirees, actives, or friends of the Patrol have provided a monetary gift of support to the STO to fund our legislative efforts. Many of our uniform retirees have made a $5.00 per month pledge from their monthly pension. Link to our STO page to learn more about the STO and how you can support our efforts in 2023.

“The leadership qualities that Col. Chiaramonte had are rare. Ohio State has had a lot of football coaches, but they’ve only had one Woody Hayes. And the patrol has had a lot of superintendents but only one Col. Chiaramonte.” - Colonel Paul Pride, Columbus Dispatch, December 8, 2014.

Rest in Peace Colonel Robert M. Chiaramote.
