Trump Proclaims November 11, 2026, as Veterans Day

November 10, 2026

President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation on November 10, 2026, designating November 11, 2026, as Veterans Day. The document honors U.S. Armed Forces veterans for their service since the Revolutionary War and states that the nation must ensure their welfare. It credits the administration with actions it describes, including VA restructuring, processing 3.1 million disability claims, reducing the claims backlog by more than 70 percent, opening 47 new health care facilities, housing nearly 52,000 homeless veterans last year, and establishing the National Center for Warrior Independence. The proclamation notes that federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103(a)) sets November 11 as a legal public holiday and calls on Americans and officials to observe the holiday with ceremonies, flag displays, and patriotic activities.
