Morton County joins Operation Green Light to honor Veterans

The Morton County Commission approved and signed a declaration on October 27 recognizing November 4–11, 2026, as Operation Green Light for Veterans week in Morton County.
Operation Green Light is a national initiative led by the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers. Counties participate by illuminating public buildings in green and encouraging residents, businesses and community organizations to display green lights of their own.
The green light is a simple but visible way to let veterans know they are seen, appreciated and supported. The campaign also raises awareness of the local, state and federal resources available to veterans and their families.
Morton County’s plans for the week include lighting suitable county facilities green, sharing information about local veteran services, recognizing county employees who are veterans and choose to participate, and inviting the community to join the campaign.
Residents and businesses can participate by displaying a green light in a window, entryway or other visible location from November 4 through November 11. Participants are also encouraged to share photos on our Facebook page using #OperationGreenLight or through our website at mortonnd.gov/submitphotos.
Veterans and their families who would like assistance accessing benefits, services or referrals may contact the Morton County Veterans Service Office at 701-667-3365. The office is located in the Morton County Courthouse, 210 Second Avenue NW in Mandan.
