ALAMEDA COUNTY — November 7, 2026. Public buildings across Alameda County are being illuminated green in the days leading up to Veterans Day on November 11 as part of Operation Green Light for Veterans.

Where residents will see green lights

Participating sites include veterans memorial buildings in Albany, San Leandro, Hayward, Fremont and Livermore, plus the René C. Davidson Courthouse and the county’s Susan S. Muranishi Administration Building, according to a Bay City News report.

What the program means

The nationwide initiative encourages public agencies and local residents to show support for former service members while increasing awareness of services available to veterans and families. County leaders emphasized that recognition should be paired with practical support and access to benefits.

How the public can participate

Residents, businesses and community organizations are invited to display a green light if they wish. The illumination is a commemorative gesture rather than a fundraising requirement; no fee or donation is necessary to participate. Anyone looking for benefits assistance should seek official county, state or federal veterans service organizations.
