Oswego County joined other counties across the state in Operation Green Light, a mission to show support for military veterans. The initiative recognizes the challenges of military service, the transition back to civilian life and every honorable contribution and sacrifice in between.

Residents are encouraged to display an indoor or outdoor green light to show all military veterans that they are appreciated and supported. Pictured is the Oswego County Courthouse lit in green to honor our veterans. Photo by Rick Doten.

The Oswego County Legislature’s Human Services Committee announced the local launch of Operation Green Light to recognize veterans. The sacrifices made by the men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces are vital in protecting the freedoms we all share.
