Kitsap County launches Operation Green Light Nov. 7-13 in support of local veterans

In advance of the upcoming Veterans Day holiday, Kitsap County announces that county buildings will be illuminated in green Nov. 7-13 as part of Operation Green Light, a new national collaborative initiative of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veteran Service Officers to support military veterans and raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by many veterans and 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 one 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. County Commissioners passed a resolution [ [link removed] ] Oct. 10 proclaiming their support of Operation Green Light.

"We?hope the public will join us in celebrating the service of Kitsap veterans, past and present, by displaying a green light for them. We will light up the County Administration Building to show our support and honor veterans for their selfless service and the contributions they continue to make to local communities," said Kitsap County Commissioner Rob Gelder.

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 is heartwarming to participate in a nationwide event that honors our veterans in the spirit of teamwork that all veterans know so well. Uniting around our veterans by displaying a green light in our homes is a simple expression of gratitude that makes our community stronger," noted Kitsap County Veterans Assistance Program Coordinator Richard Becker. "I hope other county organizations show their commitment to veterans as our own County Commissioners have done through their steadfast support of Operation Greenlight.? ?
