Genesee County Legislature proclaims support for Operation Green Light; courthouse to be lit Nov. 1–11

The Genesee County Legislature read a proclamation urging residents and businesses to participate in Operation Green Light by displaying a green light from Nov. 1 through Veterans Day, Nov. 11, and said the county’s old courthouse will be illuminated green as a visible sign of support.

A presenter read the proclamation aloud, saying the county is "profoundly grateful for the dedication, courage, and sacrifice of our veterans" and encouraging participation to show appreciation for those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

The proclamation asks residents and businesses "to participate by displaying a green light in a window of their home or place of business" as a symbol of appreciation. It frames the courthouse illumination as a public, symbolic gesture tied to the nationwide Operation Green Light campaign for veterans.

After the proclamation was read, a resident who received the proclamation thanked the Legislature. "I want to thank you all for presenting this proclamation to not only myself being a receipt of it but for all the veterans of this county," the resident said, adding that service members "when they come home they need the best care" and that the county has worked to provide support.
