Route description

The portion of SR 725 between Union Road and Soldiers Home Road in Miamisburg is designated as the "SGT Gary Lee McKiddy Memorial Highway",[5] in honor of a 1968 Miamisburg High School graduate and U.S. Army sergeant. On May 6, 1970, McKiddy, a 20-year-old member of the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, was serving in Cambodia during the Vietnam War; on that date, he pulled a fellow soldier from a burning helicopter; McKiddy then returned to the helicopter in an attempt to rescue the pilot; as he did, the helicopter exploded, killing both McKiddy and the pilot.[6]

The portion of SR 725 between Heincke Road and

divided highway.[12][13] Between 1993 and 1995 the section of highway between I-675 and Centerville was upgraded to a divided highway.[14][15]
