Turn Your Lights Green for Veterans!

Wednesday, November 4, 2026

From November 4-11, Clatsop County buildings will shine green to honor and support our local veterans and their families.

Turn Your Lights Green for Veterans!

We invite residents, businesses, and other local agencies to join Operation Green Light for Veterans, a nationwide initiative, by changing one or more light bulbs inside or outside your home or place of business to a green bulb. This simple gesture helps show our veterans that they are seen, appreciated, and supported—and it helps spark important conversations about the services available to them and their families.

• Facebook Event Page – coming soon

Be sure to share your green lights on social media using the hashtag #OperationGreenLight.
