The Lackawanna County Board of Commissioners on Nov. 5 proclaimed Nov. 4–11, 2025 as Operation Green Light for Veterans Week.
Veterans Affairs Director Tim Booth told the board the county is home to about 12,000 veterans from all service branches and that Operation Green Light is a nationwide campaign to recognize veterans and raise awareness of challenges they face. He said the county will light the courthouse green and encourage residents to replace porch lights with a green bulb to show support (transcript: Tim Booth, SEG 192–211).
The board presented the proclamation and invited veterans, including Joe (introduced in the meeting), to join a photo afterward. The proclamation text named commissioners Brenda Sacco, Chris Schirmack and Bill Gaughn as signatories in the document read into the record (transcript: SEG 154–183; SEG 223–229).
