Operation Green Light “Green Glow” Kickoff Nov. 2 at Whitney Commons

Veterans Day is just around the corner. Veterans Day is a federal holiday observed annually on Nov. 11. This day is set aside for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.

In conjunction with a local Veteran’s Day celebration, organizations have banded together to hold a benefits fair and raise local support for Operation Green Light. 

Through the simple act of replacing the front porch light bulbs to a green bulb, residents and businesses can show veterans in the community that they are remembered and supported. These organizations are asking everyone to make Sheridan glow green the week of Nov. 4-11.

Sheridan VA Health Care System Public Affairs Specialist Cherish Thompson and Community Engagement and Partnership Coordinator Kayla Stevens worked to gather representatives from many of the organizations to appear on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to announce Operation Green Light “Green Glow” Kickoff.

Sheridan City Council Member Greg Luhman has been visiting many downtown businesses, Sheridan Fire and Rescue and other locations spreading the word of Operation Green Light in the community.

Thompson said Operation Green Light “Green Glow” Kickoff was developed to be an informative celebration for veterans and their families.

Thompson said they will welcome any organizations in the Sheridan County Community who offer services to veterans to join and invited all veterans, their families as well as families who may have lost a veteran or service member or resident who simply wishes to show support to come enjoy the event.
