Operation Green Light
The week of the Veterans Day holiday, Mobile County Commission joins local governments across the nation participating in Operation Green Light to shine a light of appreciation, hope, and support for our nation’s veterans.
Mobile County will light the atrium of Mobile Government Plaza green at the stroke of 5 p.m., on Monday, Nov. 6. The atrium will be lit green through Sunday, Nov. 12.
Some downtown businesses and other downtown Mobile locations – the Mobile Convention Center and GulfQuest – will be lit green for the week as well. The Mobile RSA buildings will be lit green for a portion of the week.
The Mobile County Commission approved a resolution supporting Operation Green Light on October 24, 2022 (see below) and Commissioners urge residents in all portions of Mobile County to participate.
How?
- Picking up your green light (bulb) at Mobile County License Commissioner or Mobile Public Library locations (locations listed in graphic).
- Shining your green light the week of Nov. 6 through Nov. 12, 2023. Simply change one light bulb in your 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 and family.
- Taking a photo of your green-lit area and post it on social media with the hashtags #OperationGreenLight and #MobileCountyAL.
- Sending your photo to publicaffairs@mobilecountyal.gov (some submitted photos will be featured on Mobile County’s social media and its Operation Green Light page).
- Sharing the local resources listed on this page with veterans and their families.
