Clark Shines Green for Veterans

In recognition of Veterans Day, Clark Township will illuminate the municipal building green as part of Operation Green Light, a national initiative supporting military veterans and raising awareness about resources available to them at the local, county, state, and federal level.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to participate by changing one outside light green, to show support for veterans. The green light is a simple but meaningful way to let veterans know they are seen, appreciated, and supported. Share your participation on social media using #OperationGreenLight.
