Information

Request/Subject

Adoption of Resolution No. 22-11-02 designating Gila County as a County Supporting Operation Green Light in support of our men and women who have served and are serving in the Armed Forces.

Background Information

America's counties are home to 17.5 million veterans and are deeply invested in veterans' health and well-being, often serving as a veteran's first point of contact in the community for accessing services. Counties support veterans' access to stable housing, employment and education, and critical mental health services that treat trauma and prevent suicide.

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.

This coming Veterans Day, the National Association of Counties (NACO) and the National Association of County Service Officers invite the nation's 3,069 counties, parishes, and boroughs to join Operation Green Light and show support for veterans by lighting our buildings green from November 7, 2022, to November 13, 2022. By shining green lights, county governments and our residents will let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported.

Evaluation

Gila County will serve as a County Supporting Operation Green Light in support of our men and women who have served and are serving in the Armed Forces.

It is appropriate to adopt Resolution No. 22-11-02.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt Resolution No. 22-11-02 designating Gila County as a County Supporting Operation Green Light.
