On Wednesday, Douglas County Commissioners Tom Kress, Chris Boice, and Tim Freeman issued a proclamation calling upon residents to celebrate November as Veterans and Military Families Month.

The proclamation recognized and invited citizens to honor veterans and military families for the sacrifices they have made for the country.

In addition, the commissioners have announced that the county is participating in Operation Green Light. This month, the front of the courthouse will be illuminated with green lights to show appreciation and support for veterans and their families. Residents are encouraged to place a green light on their porch or outside light fixture. The green lights on the courthouse will remain on display through the end of the month.
