Dunn County, North Dakota, will shine a green light for veterans from November 4 to 11 as part of the nationwide initiative, Operation Greenlight for Veterans. This campaign, organized by the National Association of Counties, aims to honor those who have served in the military.
During a recent Dunn County Commission meeting on November 5, Commission Chair Tracy Dolezal read a proclamation announcing the county’s commitment to this initiative. “As Veterans Day approaches, we are filled with gratitude for the brave men and women who have served our nation with courage and sacrifice,” Dolezal stated. She emphasized the importance of recognizing the contributions of veterans, both past and present, in protecting the freedoms cherished by all citizens.
Residents of Dunn County who wish to participate in this initiative can receive a free green light bulb by texting 701-290-9456. The supply of bulbs is limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. This effort seeks to encourage community members to display their support for veterans by illuminating their homes and businesses with green lights.
Additional information about Operation Greenlight can be found on the Dunn County website and its social media platforms. The campaign not only serves as a visual reminder of the sacrifices made by veterans but also fosters a sense of unity and appreciation within the community.
As the week of November 4-11 approaches, Dunn County invites all residents to participate in this meaningful initiative, ensuring that the contributions of veterans are celebrated and remembered.
