Allen County Courthouse has gone green for Veterans Day.
The Kansas Association of Counties, along with several Kansas counties, announced county courthouses and other buildings and offices will be illuminated green this week.
The effort is called Operation Green Light, a new national collaborative initiative of KAC’s national partner, the National Association of Counties (NACO) to support military veterans, as well as raise awareness about the unique challenges they face and the resources that are available at the county, state, and federal level to assist veterans and their families.
In addition to lighting county buildings, residents and businesses are encouraged to participate by simply changing one light bulb in their house to a green bulb. This can be an exterior light that neighbors and passersby see, or an interior light that sparks a conversation with friends.
