San Bernardino County will again light several county buildings green from Nov. 4 to 11, leading up to Veterans Day, as part of Operation Green Light for Veterans, the county said Sept. 24.
The national campaign, led by the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers, raises awareness of service members’ sacrifices and reminds veterans and their families that benefits and help are available in their communities.
The county is asking residents, businesses and community groups to replace one indoor or outdoor light with a green bulb for the week and to share photos with #OperationGreenLight.
The buildings to be lit are the county Veterans Affairs office, 222 Hospitality Lane, San Bernardino; Veterans Affairs at the High Desert Government Center, 15900 Smoke Tree St., Hesperia; and the district offices of the five supervisors: Chairman and Third District Supervisor , at the Bob Burke Government Center, 63665 Twentynine Palms Highway, Joshua Tree; First District Supervisor Col. (Ret.), 14955 Dale Evans Parkway, Apple Valley; Second District Supervisor , 8575 Haven Ave., Rancho Cucamonga; Fourth District Supervisor , 14010 City Center Drive, Chino Hills; and Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Jr., at the San Bernardino County Government Center, 385 N. Arrowhead Ave., San Bernardino.
Veterans and their families can reach San Bernardino County Veterans Affairs at va.sbcounty.gov or 866-472-8387.
