Today is Veterans Day, and first, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all our veterans. Your service, sacrifice, and commitment to our country mean more than words can express. And to the military families who have supported their loved ones through deployments, long separations, and countless sacrifices of their own, thank you, too.
I came across something happening right here in Charlotte that I wanted to share with you.
Have you heard about Operation Green Light?
Mecklenburg County is encouraging residents and businesses to display a green light at home or in their business as a simple way to show support for our veterans.
Tonight, Charlotte's skyline will even be illuminated in green!
I think it's such a thoughtful gesture. Sometimes the smallest things can send the biggest messages.
And what I particularly love about this initiative is that it reminds our veterans that their service is appreciated, not just today, but throughout the year.
If you have a green light bulb, consider turning it on tonight. And if you know a veteran, take a moment to give them a call, send a message, or simply say thank you.
My takeaway? We talk a lot about what makes Charlotte a wonderful place to live, but I believe it's the people who make our communities special. And that certainly includes the men and women who have served our country.
To every veteran reading this, thank you for your service. You are appreciated more than you know.
