A Facebook post thanked current and former service members for protecting the nation and said they are worthy of appreciation and support.
The post said the author enjoyed stopping by the 2026 State of the Military Symposium and used the occasion to highlight some of the things Mississippi is doing to support service members and their families.
Symposiums such as the State of the Military bring together military personnel, community leaders and policymakers to discuss readiness, family support and transition issues. Organizers and participants commonly focus on employment assistance, health care, education and other services that help service members reintegrate into civilian life.
The message underscores the continued public attention on how states assist military families and veterans. Details about specific programs or announcements at the symposium were not included in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
