State Senator Jim Arnold was recently recognized by the Disabled American Veterans Local Chapter 23 for his support of key veteran and military affairs issues. The Michigan City chapter noted Arnold’s dedication and commitment to Indiana servicemen and women during the organization’s annual awards dinner.

Since joining the State Senate in 2007, Senator Arnold has pushed a number of legislative initiatives in support of Indiana’s veterans. In 2010, Arnold successfully sponsored House Bill 1178, an act requiring post-deployment health evaluations of returning Indiana National Guardsmen and women to be conducted in-person by a trained healthcare provider.
