Operation Green Light and Ramsey County
Five Ramsey County-owned buildings were recently illuminated green as part of Operation Green Light, a nationwide initiative to let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated and supported.
Operation Green Light's mission is to show support for veterans of all military conflicts, as well as raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by many veterans (and their families) and the resources that are available at the county, state, and federal level to assist veterans and their families. #OperationGreenLight
