San Bernardino County illuminates buildings green in support of veterans

On Oct. 8, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution declaring Nov. 4-11 as Green Light for Veterans. Operation Green Light for Veterans highlights the issues veterans face, and advocates for access to resources at the county, state and federal levels that veterans need to thrive.  

Join San Bernardino County, the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers (NACVSO) in Operation Green Light for Veterans and let veterans know they are seen, appreciated and supported.  

The Commitment to Veteran Support and Outreach Act was recently reintroduced to Congress and if passed, would provide county Veterans Affairs with funding to expand, strengthen and support county Veteran Service Officers (VSOs) in meeting high caseloads for vital services to veterans, prioritizing areas with high rates of veteran suicide, Veteran Crisis Line referrals and critical VSO shortages.  

The county government locations listed below will be illuminated with a green light from Nov. 4-11:  

• Veterans Affairs Office, 222 Hospitality Ln., San Bernardino 
• Veterans Affairs at the High Desert Government Center, 15900 Smoke Tree St., Hesperia
