San Bernardino County said it illuminated the Government Center and several county facilities in green through Nov. 11 to honor Veterans Day.
The lighting is part of Operation Green Light for Veterans, a nationwide initiative led by the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers; the campaign raises awareness of service and sacrifice and reminds veterans that benefits and assistance are available locally.
County locations scheduled to be illuminated through Nov. 11 include the San Bernardino County Veterans Affairs Office, 222 Hospitality Lane, San Bernardino; Veterans Affairs at the Jerry Lewis High Desert Government Center, 15900 Smoke Tree St., Hesperia; Chairman and Third District Supervisor ’s District Office at the Bob Burke Government Center, 63665 Twentynine Palms Highway, Joshua Tree; First District Supervisor Col. ’s (Ret.) District Office, 14955 Dale Evans Parkway, Apple Valley; Second District Supervisor ’s District Office, 8575 Haven Ave., Rancho Cucamonga; Fourth District Supervisor ’s District Office, 14010 City Center Drive, Chino Hills; and Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor ’s District Office at the San Bernardino County Government Center, 385 N. Arrowhead Ave., San Bernardino.
Residents, businesses and community groups are encouraged to participate by replacing one exterior or interior light with a green bulb from now until Nov. 11 and to share photos using #OperationGreenLight; each green light is meant to signal that veterans are seen and supported.
Veterans and family members seeking assistance can contact San Bernardino County Veterans Affairs at va.sbcounty.gov or by calling 866-472-8387.
San Bernardino County remains committed to connecting veterans and their families with the benefits they earned through military service.
