TOMS RIVER – Officials will be shining a light on veterans by illuminating government buildings as part of Operation Green Light.
The goal of this mission is to show respect for veterans and also to point them in the direction of important services. In Ocean County, veterans programs can be found at co.ocean.nj.us/oc/veterans/ or by calling (732) 929-2096.
“Ocean County will be illuminating county buildings along Hooper Avenue and Washington Street in Toms River including the Ocean County Courthouse, the Ocean County Justice Complex and the Ocean County Administration Building located at 101 Hooper Avenue,” announced Ocean County Commissioner Gary Quinn, liaison to the Ocean County Veterans Services Bureau. “Ocean County is home to over 30,000 veterans and their families, which is the largest veteran’s population in the state.
“Through the Ocean County Veterans Services Bureau, veterans and their families in Ocean County can access a host of programs and services that assist the men and women who have served our country,” Quinn said. “We are proud to participate in Operation Green Light to show our continued support of those who have served in our military.”
Residents are welcome to change a light bulb to green to show that veterans are seen, appreciated, and supported.
