🇺🇸 Veterans Day • Tuesday, November 11, 2025
Today we honor all who served. Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Congress made it a national holiday in 1938, and in 1954 it was renamed Veterans Day to honor all U.S. veterans. 

Right here at home, Baker County is proud of our service members—over 1,500 veterans live in our county, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS 2023). 

Across our state, Florida supported approximately 81,955 active-duty military personnel in 2024. 

To every veteran and military family in our community: thank you. If you’d like us to recognize a veteran, share a name or photo in the comments so we can help preserve their story for future generations.
