In a recent display of support for veterans, Clay County buildings were illuminated in green as part of the National Association of Counties' (NACo) Operation Green Light for Veterans initiative. The initiative, which ran from November 4 through 11, sought to honor the service and sacrifices of military veterans in a visually striking way.

The Clay County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) in Florida took part in this gesture of appreciation, with the CCSO Maintenance Department taking charge of the lighting. The Sheriff's Office maintenance team received accolades for their efforts, which did not go unnoticed by the community or the CCSO leadership. In a social media post, the Clay County Sheriff's Office extended "a big shout-out to the CCSO Maintenance Department for doing an outstanding job lighting up the CCSO buildings in Green Cove!"

While Operation Green Light primarily focuses on veterans, the praise directed at the CCSO Maintenance Department underscores the value of often unsung labor. "Thank you to our maintenance team members for their hard work and dedication — not just for this project, but for everything they do behind the scenes every day," the Clay County Sheriff's Office noted in their post.
