As we approach Veterans Day, the lovely communities of Oakland County are gearing up to show their appreciation for the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. This year, from November 8 to November 14, a slew of events is lined up to ensure that our veterans feel honored and celebrated. Let’s dive into the festivities that await you!
One of the standout initiatives this year is the Operation Greenlight, which features the Oakland County Circuit Courthouse at 1200 N Telegraph, Pontiac, glowing in vibrant green light from November 8 to November 11. This wonderful display serves as a warming sign of support—a beacon of gratitude for those who have bravely defended our freedom!
Mark your calendars for November 11, as there are plenty of activities to partake in:
On top of that, if you fancy some tunes, don’t miss the Veterans Special Event Concert happening at the Orion Veterans Memorial on November 9. Let’s not forget the Veterans Luncheon at the Waterford Recreation Center on November 14—a great way to wrap up the celebrations!
Many local spots are rolling out the red carpet on Veterans Day with incredible discounts. From cafes to stores, it’s worth checking out what offers they have prepared for you. You can find a list of these discounts on resources like Military.com and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs websites. Remember to bring along your proof of service, like a valid military or veteran ID card, to snag those deals!
Veterans in need of assistance should reach out to the Oakland County Veterans’ Services. They have dedicated over 60 years to help veterans and their families navigate the often confusing benefits system. With trained and accredited counselors ready to lend a hand, getting the help you need has never been easier. Just give them a call:
With more than 50,000 veterans in Oakland County alone, this is a perfect opportunity for the community to come together, give back, and show immense gratitude. Whether attending events or taking advantage of discounts, every little bit counts in paying tribute to those who have served.
