Governor Mike Beebe signed
House Bill 1014 (Act 12) "The Nick Bacon Remembrance Act" at
the State Capitol Tuesday, February 15, 2011. The Bill,
introduced by State Representative John Edwards through the
efforts of Veterans' Commissioner Tom Thomas, will add the word
"veteran" to driver's licenses and state issued ID cards with
proof of service established by a DD214. The Act was so named in
honor of Medal of Honor Recipient Nicky Bacon, former Arkansas
Department of Veterans Affairs Director, who passed away in
2010.
