GOSHEN- In anticipation of November’s Veterans Day holiday, the Orange County Government Center and Veterans Cemetery in Goshen will be illuminated with green lights from November 6th through the 12th as part of Operation Green Light.
Operation Green Light is an initiative started two years ago through a collaboration between the New York State Association of Counties and the New York State County Veteran Service Officers’ Association. The campaign supports veterans of all military conflicts and raises awareness about the challenges faced by many veterans as well as the County, State and Federal resources that are available to assist veterans and their families.
Residents are encouraged to participate in Operating Green Light by simply changing one light bulb at their home to a green bulb. It can be an exterior light that neighbors see, or an interior light that sparks a conversation with family and friends.
“Operation Green Light shows our veterans that their service mattered and that we are grateful for it,” said Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus. “By shining a green light, we let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported, and that their service matters. We are proud to take part in Operation Greenlight again this year.”
