Commissioner Baker McCormick Statement in support of military vets

Published on November 09, 2022

"Studies have highlighted the issues many veterans face, including posttraumatic stress disorder and feelings of isolation. Operation Green Light is a way to let our veterans know we care and I'd really like to see it carried out throughout the county in future years," Commissioner Baker McCormick (D-Detroit), who is a U.S. Army veteran.

Wayne County Commissioners gave the green light the week of Nov. 7 to its military veterans as the county participated in Operation Green Light for Veterans, a national program organized by the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers.

A ceremony was held outside county offices at the historic Guardian Building in downtown Detroit as the building was bathed in green light as a show of support for veterans.
