In collaboration with the National Association of Counties (NACO), Beaufort County Veterans Affairs is celebrating Operation Green Light for Veterans for the month of November. 

Beaufort County's Government Buildings in the County Plaza including the Administration Building, the Arthur Horne Building and the County Courthouse will all be lighted green for the month of November. 

According to NACO's website: America’s counties have a long and proud history of serving our nation’s veterans, a legacy that continues to this day as we work with our federal, state and local partners to ensure that the former service members have access to the resources they need to thrive.

"We encourage the entire Beaufort County community to join in on this initiative, shining a green light on businesses and homes," said Caroline Fermin, Beaufort County Veterans Affairs Director. "This gesture lets our military community know they are acknowledged, valued, and supported."

Once again this Veterans Day, the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers (NACVSO) invite the nation’s 3,069 counties, parishes, and boroughs to join Operation Green Light and show support for veterans by lighting our buildings green from November 4-11. By shining a green light, county governments and our residents will let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated and supported.  

The initiative, which in 2023 drew participation from over 300 counties, is designed to raise awareness about the unique challenges veterans face and the resources available to assist them and their families at the county, state and federal levels.
