Riverside County Administration Center Lit Green Through Nov. 12 in Operation Green Light for Veterans
The Riverside County Administration Center in Riverside, California, has been lit in green at night since November 7 and will stay lit through November 12, leading up to Veterans Day on November 11. Supervisors Karen Spiegel and Chuck Washington announced that Riverside County is taking part in the nationwide Operation Green Light for Veterans, joining county governments across the United States in honoring veterans.
A ceremonial light-switch event was held on November 7 at 5:30 p.m. in front of the County Administration Center Building at 4080 Lemon St, Riverside, CA 92502, open to veterans, community members, media representatives and local dignitaries. According to the county, 3,069 counties, parishes and boroughs nationwide are taking part in the campaign, which is led by the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers (NACVSO). The Administration Center will remain lit in green from November 7 through November 12, culminating in the commemoration of Veterans Day on November 11.
Third District Supervisor Chuck Washington, himself a veteran, said: "As a veteran, I understand what it means to put service above self. While we light up our administrative center in green, we are illustrating that Riverside County is dedicated to ensuring that our veterans are seen, appreciated, and supported."
Supervisor Karen Spiegel said: "Our commitment to our veterans is unwavering. This gesture, simple but significant, is our way of saying thank you for their immense sacrifices." (Source: Riverside County)
