BATAVIA, OHIO (Nov. 4, 2024) – Clermont County will illuminate county buildings green starting Monday, Nov. 4 as part of Operation Green Light for Veterans, a nationwide campaign to support military veterans. It coincides with the upcoming Veterans’ Day holiday Nov. 11.
The following buildings in Batavia will remain aglow in green for the remainder of November:
Now in its third year, Operation Green Light is spearheaded by the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers to raise awareness around the unique challenges faced by many veterans and the resources available at the county, state and federal levels to assist veterans and their families.
“Many veterans are unaware of the benefits available to them,” said Clermont County Commissioner David Painter. “Operation Green Light highlights those services offered to our veterans across the United States and right here in Clermont County.”
Added Commissioner Bonnie Batchler: “Operation Green Light serves as a public display and subtle reminder of the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces. November is the perfect time to honor the men and women who have served our country.”
Residents and businesses in Clermont County are encouraged to participate by adding green lights to the interior or exterior of their homes and other buildings. You can find green light bulbs at area retailers and online. On social media, show support with #OperationGreenLight.
“Operation Green Light is a fitting opportunity for us to show our gratitude,” said Commissioner Claire Corcoran. “We are proud to participate in this tradition which honors those who keep us safe and free.”
