#OperationGreenLight for Veterans is a nationwide initiative that shows solidarity with America’s Veterans.
From Nov. 4 to 11, buildings and homes across the country will light up green to recognize the sacrifice and strength of our Veterans as they transition from military to civilian life. The green light serves as a beacon of support, reminding our Veterans they’re not alone. Join the nation’s 3,069 counties, parishes and boroughs who have joined in the support.
