In advance of the upcoming Veterans Day holiday, Pender County announced plans to illuminate county buildings green from November 4–11 as part of Operation Green Light for Veterans, a nationwide effort uniting counties to support military veterans.

The initiative, led by the National Association of Counties (NACo), raises awareness about the unique challenges faced by many veterans and highlights the resources available at the county, state, and federal levels to assist veterans and their families.

Pender County encourages residents and businesses to participate by changing one light bulb, inside or outside their home or business, to a green bulb. The light serves as a simple but meaningful gesture to show appreciation and support for veterans throughout the community.

Participants are encouraged to share photos of their green lights on social media using the hashtag #OperationGreenLight.
