Jo Co Comm Backs ‘Operation Green Light’

Johnson County’s Commissioners have approved a Resolution to participate in Operation Green Light the week of Veterans Day this November.

Community Prevention Manager/Suicide Prevention Specialist Bill Hawley spoke about Operation Green Light.

According to naco.org, this Veterans Day, the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers  (NACVSO) invite the nation’s 3,069 counties, parishes, and boroughs to join Operation Green Light and show support for veterans by lighting their buildings green from November 6-12. By shining a green light, county governments and residents will let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated and supported.

The commission passed Resolution No. 712, to have Johnson County participate in the recognition of the country’s Veterans and encouraged residents to light their buildings and homes green from November 6 through 11.
