阿拉巴马州长 Kay Ivey 发表退伍军人节视频致辞，向全州40多万退伍军人致敬
阿拉巴马州州长 Kay Ivey 2026年11月10日发表退伍军人节视频致辞，向全州40多万名退伍军人致敬。致辞在州府 Montgomery 发布，Montgomery 位于阿拉巴马州蒙哥马利县，是州政府所在地。
Ivey 在致辞中讲起自己的父亲 Boadman Nettles Ivey。他是第二次世界大战期间的野战炮兵上尉，参加过突出部战役，Ivey 说自己大约两岁时才第一次见到从战场回家的父亲。她说，父亲那一代人的牺牲，是她理解退伍军人分量的起点。
阿拉巴马州把11月5日至11日定为全州退伍军人周。Ivey 在致辞中提到，她已把州退伍军人事务部升为内阁级部门，并新设阿拉巴马退伍军人资源中心，集中为退伍军人及其家庭提供服务。
致辞还讲了 CHOOSE Act 教育计划下的一户家庭：Shalice Washington 的女儿 Kimora 在 Montgomery 的 Trinity Presbyterian School 读一年级，Ivey 以这户家庭为例，说明州政府希望把教育选择和退伍军人家庭的支持连在一起。
退伍军人节是美国联邦节日，每年11月11日纪念所有曾在美军服役的人。阿拉巴马州今年的纪念活动从退伍军人周开始，视频致辞是州长办公室的主要发布之一。

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey Delivers Veterans Day Video Address Honoring the State's 400,000-Plus Veterans
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey released a Veterans Day video address on November 10, 2026, honoring the more than 400,000 veterans who call Alabama home. The address was issued from Montgomery, the state capital in Montgomery County, Alabama.
Ivey spoke about her father, Boadman Nettles Ivey, a field artillery captain in World War II who fought in the Battle of the Bulge. She said she was about two years old when she first met her father after he came home from the war, and that his generation's sacrifice shaped her understanding of what veterans carry.
Alabama observed Veterans Week from November 5 to 11. In the address, Ivey noted that she has elevated the state Department of Veterans Affairs to a cabinet-level agency and created the new Alabama Veterans Resource Center to coordinate services for veterans and their families.
The address also highlighted a family benefiting from the CHOOSE Act education programme: Shalice Washington's daughter Kimora, a first grader at Trinity Presbyterian School in Montgomery, was presented as an example of linking school choice with support for veteran families.
Veterans Day, a U.S. federal holiday on November 11, honors all who have served in the U.S. armed forces. The video address was the governor's office's main Veterans Week release this year.
