We join the nation today in recognizing the great contributions and sacrifice made by members of the U.S. military and their families.

With more than 1.6 million veterans, Florida is the most veteran-friendly state in the nation, according to the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Here are some interesting facts about Florida veterans:

  • Florida has the third largest population of veterans in the nation after California and Texas with more than 1.6 million veterans – 12 percent of the Sunshine State’s population 18 and over.
  • Wartime veterans make up about 75 percent of Florida’s total veteran population (1.2 million).
  • There are more Vietnam-era veterans than any other wartime category in Florida with more than 449,000.
