佛罗里达州定11月为退伍军人感谢月:近140万名退伍军人在佛州安家

佛罗里达州退伍军人事务部10月30日公布,州长 Ron DeSantis 已签署年度公告,把2026年11月定为佛罗里达州退伍军人感谢月,11月11日为退伍军人节。全州有近140万名退伍军人,州政府称佛罗里达是全美对军人和退伍军人最友好的州。
把整个11月设为感谢月有法律依据。佛罗里达州法律规定11月为退伍军人感谢月,州长每年可发布公告,并鼓励各县、市、公立学校和居民办特别活动向退伍军人致谢。这项制度在2024年由州立法确立,此前的纪念期只是一周,如今扩为整整一个月。
退伍军人节在11月11日,今年适逢周三。州退伍军人事务部的职责是把退伍军人及其家人与他们应得的福利、服务和支持对接起来,感谢月期间全州各地的纪念仪式和资源活动都会陆续展开。
需要帮助的退伍军人可以记住三条热线:全国退伍军人危机热线988接通后按1,佛罗里达退伍军人支持热线1-844-693-5838,也可以拨打211转介本地服务。这三条线都写在该部的公告页上,全天有人接听。(来源:佛罗里达州退伍军人事务部)
Florida Declares November Veterans Appreciation Month: Nearly 1.4 Million Veterans Call the State Home
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed the annual proclamation designating November 2026 as Veterans Appreciation Month in Florida and November 11 as Veterans Day, the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs announced on October 30. Florida is home to nearly 1.4 million veterans, and the state calls itself the most military- and veteran-friendly state in the nation.
The monthlong observance is written into state law. Florida law designates November as Veterans Appreciation Month and authorizes the governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging counties, municipalities, public schools and residents to hold special programs honoring veterans. The arrangement was set by legislation in 2024, expanding what had been a week of observance into a full month.
Veterans Day falls on Wednesday, November 11 this year. The state Department of Veterans' Affairs connects veterans and their families with the benefits, services and support they have earned, and ceremonies and resource events across the state run through the appreciation month.
Veterans who need help can use three lines listed on the department's proclamation page: the National Veteran Crisis Hotline at 988, then press 1; the Florida Veterans Support Line at 1-844-693-5838; or 211 for local referrals. All three operate around the clock. (Source: Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs)
