The Erie County Veterans Services Office and the Erie-Western PA Port Authority are joining forces to recognize local veterans through the nationwide Green Light for Veterans campaign.
As part of the initiative, the Bicentennial Tower will be illuminated in green from November 4 through November 11 as a visible symbol of gratitude and support for the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
Organizers are encouraging businesses, organizations, and residents throughout the community to participate by displaying green lights at their own locations. The goal is to create a countywide show of appreciation for veterans while raising awareness of the challenges many service members face after returning to civilian life.
Supporters say the campaign not only honors veterans’ service and sacrifice but also helps spark meaningful conversations about the resources and support available to those who have served.
Community members are invited to join the effort throughout Veterans Week and help make Erie shine green in recognition of the nation’s veterans.
