Thurston residents may see green lights for Veterans Day this weekend. Here’s why
From The Olympian:
Thurston County will illuminate its buildings green this weekend to commemorate Veterans Day.
The lights will be turned on Friday through Sunday as part of a national initiative called Operation Green Light, according to a Tuesday news release.
With this effort, the county aims to bring awareness to the unique challenges veterans face and the resources available to them.
=====
The county encouraged the public to participate in Operation Green Light this weekend by changing at least one light bulb to a green bulb. The release says this bulb can be an exterior light that’s visible to passersby or an interior light that “sparks a conversation with friends.”
Those who participate are encouraged to share their green lights on social media with the hashtag #OperationGreenLight, the county news release said.
Operation Green Light was organized by the National Association of Counties and National Association of County Veteran Service Officers.
