(KAIR)--The color of November for Atchison County is green, as the County joins #OperationGreenLight for Veterans.

According to a release from Atchison County, the initiative is "designed to shine a light on the service of our veterans and their families."

The County, which says it joins its colleagues in the collaboration, says that now, "in a time when our country is divided on so many issues, we can all agree that those individuals who risked everything to protect our country and our way of life deserve our support and gratitude," as "now more than ever, our veterans need our support."

Atchison County, in conjunction with the initiative, is illuminating the Atchison County Courthouse in the color green, with individuals and businesses invited to do the same.

#OperationGeenLight for Veterans, the release says, aims "to let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated and supported," with the release noting that "roughly 250,000 members transition out of the armed services each year," with only one green bulb needed to shine "a light of hope and support," as the month of November is designated as Veterans Month.
