Since our nation's founding, generations of Americans have reaffirmed their loyalty to our country by serving in the military and protecting our democracy. In return, we honor their sacrifice by observing Veterans Day on Nov. 11.

Though we could never adequately convey our gratitude in a single day, Veterans Day provides us the opportunity to collectively show our deep appreciation for our past and present service members and their loved ones.

There are thousands of veterans living in Indiana, which is why I encourage you to let them know today - and every day - that their sacrifice will be forever recognized and greatly appreciated.

When needed most, our veterans have answered the call to defend our freedoms. May we never take their sacrifice and our liberties for granted.

Supporting Hoosier Veterans

The Indiana General Assembly has a strong record of supporting Hoosier veterans and their families. Here are just a few steps we have taken to show our appreciation.

Income Tax Exemption for Military Members: Beginning in 2024, all income earned from active or reserve military service will be exempt from the Indiana income tax.
Financial Support for Military Families: The Military Family Relief Fund assists Hoosier veterans and their families experiencing financial hardship with funding to use on needs including housing, utilities, food, medical services and transportation.
In-State Tuition for Veterans: All honorably discharged veterans who enroll at an Indiana public college within one year of discharge are eligible for in-state tuition.
