Supervisors Spiegel and Washington Announce Riverside County’s Continued Participation in Operation Green Light for Veterans with Ceremony on Nov. 5
RIIIVERSIDE – In support of veterans across the nation, Supervisors Karen Spiegel and Chuck Washington announced Riverside County’s return of Operation Green Light for Veterans. The event will feature a ceremonial lighting on Tuesday, Nov. 5, at 5 p.m. in front of the County Administration Center Building, located at 4080 Lemon St., Riverside.
For the third consecutive year, Riverside County will join over 3,000 counties nationwide by illuminating the County Administration Building in green from Nov. 5 through Nov. 11 as a tribute to our veterans, with a special focus on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. This initiative, led by the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers (NACVSO), shines a light on veterans’ service and promotes awareness of the resources available to them in Riverside County.
“This green light is a small but meaningful way of showing our veterans that they are valued and remembered,” Second District Supervisor Karen Spiegel said in a statement. “By lighting up our building, we’re reminding our community of the sacrifices veterans have made and affirming our commitment to support them long after their service.”
“As a veteran, this cause is deeply personal to me. The green light symbolizes our enduring respect and gratitude for those who served,” Third District Supervisor Chuck Washington said in a statement. “This is a gesture that reminds us of the sacrifices made by veterans and our ongoing commitment to honoring their legacy.”
The ceremony welcomes veterans, community members, local dignitaries, and media representatives to attend. Attendees will experience the light switch ceremony and hear from community leaders about the importance of Operation Green Light and its impact on Riverside County’s veteran community.
The National Association of Counties (NACo) represents nearly 40,000 elected county officials and 3.5 million county employees, championing county government priorities at the federal level and providing resources to optimize service for residents. Established in 1935, NACo enhances the understanding of county government, promotes exemplary policies, nurtures leadership, and fosters economic efficiency.
