In a press release, Reno County announced that it is participating in a nationwide effort to bring awareness to veterans and to the resources available to them as part of “Operation Green Light For Veterans.”
The Reno County Courthouse will be illuminated in green from Nov. 4 through 11, joining counties throughout the nation, the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers, demonstrating support for veterans and raising awareness about resources available for veterans and their families.
“Participating in ‘Operation Green Light’ allows Reno County to support and honor our veterans, not only by raising awareness of the sacrifices they’ve made, but also fostering a sense of community that shows these veterans that they are valued and appreciated,” said Reno County Commission Chairman Randy Parks in the press release.
Community members and businesses can show their support by changing a light bulb to a green bulb.
