Call to Action VA Outreach. Second annual NGAI Retiree/Alumni Day Event• Legislative Objectives (Proposed): advocate for quality of life
improvements for our Soldiers, Airmen and Families & improve the state of Indiana’s ranking as a military/veteran friendly state—near term objective sample. Include National Guard and Reserve members who have served
honorably in the definition of “Hoosier Veteran”. Indiana recognizes the federal definition of “Veteran”, which does not include many National Guard and Reserve members.
Create a tax credit of $2000 for hiring unemployed or honorablydischarged Hoosier Veterans.
Institute a Hoosier Veteran hiring preference for state employment. Remove financial barriers for Indiana Guardsmen to carry firearms
for personal protection by eliminating fees for lifetime concealedcarry permits.
