Charlotte Skyline Goes Green as Mecklenburg County Marks Operation Green Light for Veterans
CHARLOTTE — On the evening of Veterans Day, November 11, the Charlotte skyline in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, was lit green to honor veterans, part of the county's Operation Green Light for Veterans.
Mecklenburg County proclaimed November 4–11 as Operation Green Light week, encouraging government buildings, businesses and residents to shine green lights so veterans know they are seen, appreciated and supported.
The county's Veterans Services office, led by director Scott Garlow, provides benefits-claims assistance and referrals to veterans year-round; the county says lighting up green is one way to remind residents to look out for the veterans around them.
