National Association of Counties
America’s counties have a long and proud history of serving our nation’s veterans, a legacy that continues to this day as we work with our federal, state and local partners to ensure that the former service members in our communities have access to the resources they need to thrive.
In advance of Veterans Day this year, counties across the country demonstrated appreciation and support for America’s veterans in a new way, by illuminating county buildings in green November 7-13 as part of Operation Green Light for Veterans.
The initiative – spearheaded by NACo and the National Association of County Veteran Service Officers (NACVSO) – is designed to raise awareness about the unique challenges veterans face and the resources available to assist them and their families at the county, state, and federal levels.
<p>The Veterans and Military Service Committee engages NACo and its members to develop and highlight county best practices and policies to promote innovative programs, services and benefits for our nation’s military, veterans
