Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesee County, NY \u2013 In advance of the upcoming Veterans Day holiday, the Old Courthouse will be
illuminated green November 6th through November 12th as part of Operation Green Light, a nationwide
initiative to support veterans and raise awareness about the challenges faced by many veterans.
Operation Green Light also focuses on sharing resources that are available at the county, state, and federal level to assist veterans and their families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collaborative effort was developed by the NYS Association of Counties and the NYS County Veteran Service Officers\u2019 Association in 2021 and was adopted this year by the National Association of Counties and National Association of County Veteran Service Officers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locally, the Genesee County Legislature is set to adopt a memorializing resolution in support of Operation Green Light. We want to make sure our veterans and their families know that their service mattered, that we are grateful for their sacrifices, and that it is now our turn to make sure they are served by their county government and our community.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to lighting the Old Courthouse green in honor of all those who have served, residents and
businesses are encouraged to demonstrate their support by changing an entryway light bulb to a green
bulb. By shining a green light, we let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this event is focused around the week of Veterans Day (November 6th -12th), participants are encouraged to continue shining the light year-round. Participants are encouraged to share photos and messages on social media using #OperationGreenLight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
