MARYLAND - The Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs says it will once again join the National Association of Counties on Operation Green Light. The initiative kicked off on Monday.
Buildings statewide will be illuminated in a green light. Homeowners are invited to illuminate their porches in green as well.
"Operation Green Light provides governments, businesses, organizations, and every day folks the opportunity to learn more about military culture, about suicide prevention and to learn from veterans about their transition from the military to civilian culture," says Gov. Wes Moore (D) - Maryland.
