Press release from the Clark Township:

November 2, 2022

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jim Ulrich Business Administrator 732-388-3600 November 2, 2022 CLARK TOWNSHIP TO LAUNCH OPERATION GREEN LIGHT FOR VETERANS

In advance of the upcoming Veterans Day holiday, Clark Township is proud to announce our municipal buildings will be illuminated green November 7th through the 13th as part of Operation Green Light, a new national collaborative initiative to support military veterans, as well as raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by many veterans and the resources that are available at the local, county, state, and federal level to assist veterans and their families. In addition to lighting the Township building, residents and businesses are encouraged to participate by simply changing one light bulb in their house to a green bulb. This can be an exterior light that neighbors and passersby see, or an interior light that sparks a conversation with friends. By shining a green light, we let our veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported. While this event is focused around the week of Veterans Day (November 7th -13th), participants are encouraged to continue shining the light year-round. Residents can share their participation on social media using the hashtag #OperationGreenLight. “Operation Green Light is a simple way to express our collective appreciation for the public service of our veterans,” said NACo President Denise Winfrey. “We encourage everyone to join us in displaying a green light for our veterans and to also reflect on how we, as a nation and at the county level, assist our military service personal back into civilian life upon completion of their service to our country.”
