Wisconsin Gov. Evers Honors Veterans in Radio Address: Nearly 300,000 Veterans Call the State Home
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers delivered his weekly radio address on November 12 honoring the approximately 300,000 veterans who live across Wisconsin, thanking them for their service to the state and country and emphasizing the importance of supporting veterans and their loved ones. The address followed Veterans Day on November 11.
The governor's office said Evers announced earlier this week that Wisconsin now ranks among the top three states in America for successfully helping connect veterans with available jobs and maintain employment. Under the Evers Administration, thanks in large part to the Wisconsin Departments of Workforce Development (DWD) and Veterans Affairs (DVA), the state has retained a top five national ranking for four consecutive years. Evers proclaimed November 11, 2026, as Veterans Day and November 5-11, 2026, as Veterans Recognition Week in Wisconsin.
In the address, Evers said the nation owes its veterans a tremendous debt of gratitude, from the battlefields of Europe and the jungles of Vietnam to Korea and the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, and that in the nation's 250th anniversary year, the freedom Americans enjoy comes with a cost. He said his administration has worked to strengthen support for service members, veterans and their families, including investments in education, employment and job training, mental health and peer-to-peer recovery services, an expanded veterans and surviving spouses tax credit, and housing.
