~ California Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed Nov. 11, 2026, as Veterans Day, honoring military veterans and reaffirming the state's commitment to supporting them and their families.

In a proclamation issued Nov. 5 and announced Tuesday, Newsom said veterans' service has helped preserve the nation's founding ideals. He also noted that California veterans continue to contribute to communities and the state's economy after leaving military service.

The proclamation said honoring veterans requires more than expressions of gratitude, including access to health care, housing and economic opportunities. It also cited support for veterans' families and efforts to protect veterans from policies and companies the governor described as harmful or exploitative.

The proclamation also recognized the families who support veterans, describing their strength and sacrifices as essential to veterans' well-being. Newsom said California aims to help veterans thrive throughout the year, not only on Veterans Day.
