Kitsap County launches Operation Green Light Nov. 4-11 in support of local veterans
In advance of the Veterans Day holiday, Kitsap County buildings on the Port Orchard campus will be illuminated in green Nov. 4-11 as part of Operation Green Light, a national initiative of the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veteran Service Officers to support military veterans and raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by many veterans while highlighting resources available to assist veterans and their families.
Kitsap County Commissioners and the Kitsap County Veterans Advisory Board encourage everyone to participate by simply changing a light bulb in their home or business to a green bulb. This can be an exterior light that neighbors and passersby see, or an interior light that sparks a conversation with friends.
Operation Green Light lets veterans and their families know their service matters and is a way of expressing gratitude for their sacrifices while reflecting on military service personnel and their transition back into civilian life after completion of their service to our country.
"It’s truly heartwarming to come together for a nationwide event that honors the brave men and women who have served our country. Veterans understand the power of teamwork, and through simple acts like displaying a green light in our homes, we unite in gratitude and strengthen our community,” said Kitsap County Veterans Assistance Program Coordinator Richard Becker. “I sincerely hope that community members will join us in showing their commitment to our veterans, just as our County Commissioners have through their unwavering support of Operation Greenlight. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who have given so much.”
